Of course, I didn't see any actual STAR test questions. I have downloaded before old actual STAR test questions, which the state of California releases. They really do ask about telling time on the second grade (end of the year) test!
I'm not surprised if they are dumbing down even more math requirements for California. So many kids can't do basic math. I guess the solution is to make the standards lower so everyone will pass!
My kids will likely take two years of AP Calculus in our California public high school, when they get there. So I'm not going to worry if the other kids can't even pass Algebra!
