A mixed bag of results here. I don't think this really supports either side of the Question 2 debate, but it does show that the state is going to want this data no matter the outcome of Question 2. Like I said in the previous post about Question 2, if teachers are supportive of Question 2 in order to not feel pressure to "teach to the test", then I think the rationale is wrong. These tests aren't going anywhere. Even if MCAS were completely eliminated, something like MCAS is going to take its place.
