The state superintendent paused during his residence on Monday to swallow ones pride to Kent college chiefs for adage their concerns about changes to the MEAP assessment cut scores were "whining."
Flanagan told educators and policymakers from opposite the state that there needs to be a more polite tinge in college discussions, and that people should "put the slings and arrows away,"
"I called a organisation of Kent County superintendents whiners, and we swallow ones pride to them for that," he said. " shouldn't do that in my role."
The explanation came in February after the state Board of Education voted to elevate MEAP "cut scores," that establish the turn students are deliberate "proficient" on state exams.
Students on a few tests were authorised to obtain as small as 40 percent scold and still encounter the mark, and state educators were indicted by an advocacy organisation of fibbing to parents about achievement.
Some Kent County superintendents, inclusive Godfrey-Lee's David Britten, mentioned the MEAP tests have mislaid credit with staff.
