As a DCPS teacher, I have serious concerns about replacing courses with a test. It is not a valid replacement for a taught course, and we would not be meeting our students' academic needs.

We have already stopped using Teacher guides that were written by PHD scholars who did extensive research to support how and what to teach in a certain order. Our kids are lacking so bad in many subject areas. If children are first we must give them all that is needed in order to be successful in their future endeavors.

There have many numerous articles speaking to the "Dummying Down" of America. This plays right into this. Where is the research that has demonstrated the pros and cons on this topic? There are so many minuses for even considering this topic. Are we now going backwards and not remembering the mistakes of the past. An example is the indefinite time we continued to implement "Open Classrooms". The damage was not reversible. Let's get real about what these future leaders of this country and maybe the world really need to be completely competent and socially well-rounded.

I disagree with offering this assessment in lieu of taking a full course. DCPS students has a critical issue among its students and families regarding the lack of value placed on education and attending school. I feel implementing this process will send a message that the entire educational process is unnecessary and can simply be reduced to one test. This will not prepare students for higher education, as this practice is not allowed and usually unacceptable in colleges and universities across the world.

Determination of a student's level of security in the CCSS cannot be assessed with one test. Teachers should be able to measure a student's growth and provide multiple opportunities to a student in order for him/her to show mastery.

All subjects including Mathematics and World Languages are important in preparing students to compete in the current global economy. Thus, it necessary to provide an excellent education. Assessments of students will lower this high expectation.

A project or major assessment can not substitute quality high school instruction. Even in AP courses, students must study intensely under the guidance of a teacher in order to obtain AP credits that can substitute college courses. "Testing out" of a course is reasonable for sequentially-based content areas like math and world languages, but is not reasonable for courses such as English, science, or history courses.
