We have not received our results yet, nine months later. (I should probably check my kids' backpacks to see if anything came home now that it's winter break...)

In my opinion, PARCC is utterly pointless, at least as far as individual students are concerned. Nine months is pathetic for a computerized test (e.g. MAP results are instantaneous).

In addition, I don't have any reason to have confidence in the quality of the test itself, not to mention the benchmarks (CC standards) it purports to measure against. As far as I know, the PARCC has never been validated.
