Translating education research into usable knowledge

Ha!

A good laugh to cure that case of the Mondays coming out of Florida today:

Parents, students and gluttons for standardized tests will be able to take a sample version of Florida's high school graduation test when it is released online Wednesday.

The Florida Department of Education will post the 10th-grade version of the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test on its Web site, www.fldoe.org. The version is an actual test that was administered in Spring 2004.

Previously, only a small number of questions were publicly released.

Education Commissioner John Winn said the sample test is intended to help students and families become comfortable with the look, feel and experience of the FCAT.

...Winn also said he expects critics of the FCAT to complain about questions that may seem too difficult. (emphasis mine)

Too difficult? That's rich.

Say, did you know they took the word gullible out of the dictionary, too?
