Here’s a Huffington Post article worth your read.

Poet Sara Holbrook discovered some of her poems were being used as seventh grade test items in Texas STAAR test. To her dismay, she couldn’t figure out what the answers to the questions really were! And, Ms. Holbrook wrote the poems!

By the way, Kentucky, don’t act smug just because this issue surfaced in Texas. Holbrook says the Texas tests are created by Pearson, the same company that creates the Grade 3 through Grade 8 KPREP tests for the Bluegrass State. For all we know, the same test questions might even be on the KPREP.
