PARCC? NO, PARK IT!
An online reader responded to a recent report about the support of a group of Massachusetts teachers that recommended the state scrap the MCAS test as a measure of student readiness and adopt the Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers, or PARCC, which measures students against Common Core, a multi-state set of educational standards Massachusetts adopted in 2010.
“This farce of a process to determine whether or not Massachusetts schools should scrap MCAS and adopt PARCC continues.”

OLYMPICS? NO-LYMPICS?
The organizers behind Boston's bid to host the Olympic Games has heard many objections to the use of public funds to pay for cost overruns. Here are two in response to a question on our LinkedIn page about whether the state should kick in tax money to help:
“No tax money, and no Olympics in MA.”
LinkedIn group member Donna Caissie
“Anyone examining the history of the Olympic Games with an open mind cannot help but be struck by most every one of these 'events' has been a financial disaster.”
LinkedIn group member Matt LaBarre
