WWMD on NAEP Exemptions

A-Rus is perplexed over at This Week in Education, and so am I. Why isn't anyone concerned that some districts exempted 20% of the total student population on the NAEP Trial Urban District Assessment?

Elizabeth Green is. A-Rus is. I am. But where are the groups most in favor of keeping ELL/students with disabilities in the accountability system - Ed Trust, Ed Sector, ELL/students with disabilities advocates, and the Secretary of Education - on this? Or groups like Fordham or the NYT that are concerned with having one national measure that allows for comparability across states?

WWMD means "What Will Maggie Do?"
