needs same
By Ms. Teacher#1

I believe you use prior knowledge for both. I can't see how you don't.

I agree with Born2Loose. I came to this country at age nine and even at that age for me the culture shock hit me pretty hard. City or state
tests are not bias-proof.

I work in a title 1 school in the city with a large immigrant population and low income population and it is insane to assume that all students in our class bring with them the same experiences.

Honestly, when I take a close look at the questions on city, state test or practice prep books many of them could have different answers depending

on how you interpret it or the experience you bring to the question/text.

I always ask my students to explain why they choose the answers they chose for certain questions on a test (especially when their answers are "wrong") and at times I have to agree with them!
