In February, the state’s Board of Regents, which oversees the state Education Department, agreed to make certain changes, including modifying testing for students with disabilities and English language learners and delaying requirements that students who do poorly on the tests work with academic intervention services.

Stacey Grossman, a Merrick parent, said she still is not satisfied. “The Common Core has been flawed from its implementation to the tests,” she wrote in an email. “Science and social studies have gone to the wayside. Our children are being taught to the test, practice tests, how to fill in a bubble! Common Core does not encourage a life long love of reading.”
