• The NYS Common Core Tests do not yield useful
information that can be used to help support your
child’s individual needs and strengths.
• The NYS Common Core Tests squander valuable
learning time.
• A focus on state test scores de-emphasize untested
subjects such as art, music, social studies and
science.
• An emphasis on NYS Common Core Test scores
makes it more difficult for a teacher to meet the needs
of both high performing and struggling students.
• By law, NYS Common Core test scores in grades 3-8
may not be used as the sole or even the majority of the
basis for placement decisions.
• If your child does not take NYS Common Core Tests in
grades 3-8, he or she may NOT be denied access to
enrichment or academic support services.
• If large numbers opt out, your school district will NOT
lose funding.
• Teacher evaluations will not be negatively impacted by
large numbers of test refusals.
• The majority of educators in NYS do not support the
Common Core Learning Standards.
• The Common Core Learning Standards have never
been piloted or tested. They are a set of copyrighted,
experimental learning standards that carry a liability
waiver and have not been shown to improve student
achievement.
