NYSUT: Wrong Questions On The June Final Exams

The New York State Teachers Union put out a statement, saying that the final exams from last month in high schools, had some questions and some topics, not covered by the teachers in classes.

STATEMENT FROM NYSUT:  “We heard many reports from our members that this year's Biology and Earth Science exams contained topics and questions with unforeseen, off-curriculum material. Educators work tirelessly to prepare students for success in accordance with state-approved standards. When tests don't align with these standards, it creates confusion, undermines confidence, and is unfair to students and educators alike.

“NYSUT stands firmly behind our educators and students. Watching students who have worked hard and prepared throughout the year struggle with off-topic materials is disappointing and frustrating for our educators. We are actively working with SED to ensure this doesn't happen again and to create better alignment moving forward so every student has the opportunity to demonstrate what they've learned."

The Regents exams were held in mid-June. Districts, educators and students are now receiving scores from those tests.
