Parents are advocating for their children, saying the standardized exams aren't always an accurate measure of their child's learning. Students' mastery of standards may also be determined by teacher-assigned class work. If the instruction is standards-based and rigorous, then the work that generated the grades should also be standard-based and rigorous. Otherwise, the learning and assessment experiences in the classroom are definitely setting them up for academic failure.
