Chaz Passed the CRCT!
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Chaz Tate, the DeKalb County fifth-grader I wrote about in a recent story about kids facing a dreaded do-over on the CRCT, passed.
His mother got a call from the school principal yesterday. I love good news. She had been told her son was at risk of failing reading. Chaz ended up passing reading but not math, despite working on practice questions six nights a week. He threw himself into summer school, determined to pass the re-test so he could advance to sixth grade.
Parents with children who had to re-take the CRCT. Have you heard whether your child passed? Teachers, do you expect to be summoned to hear appeals from parents whose children did not pass the second attempt?
