The errors on New York's state exams just keep mounting.
As a result, districts were forced to re-score exams and costing extra in public funds to pay teachers overtime to do so.
Following controversy over the talking pineapple passage on the
state's eighth-grade reading exam last month, state education officials
notified school principals that a question on the fourth-grade math exam
had two correct answers, but students would not be told the mistake unless they asked. Credit was given to students who selected either of the correct answers.
