Students, teachers and at least 37 principals in Manhattan protested the state’s controversial Common Core tests Friday, saying the exams were full of poorly constructed questions.
“We are disappointed by the design and quality of this test, as well as the lack of transparency surrounding this process,” said Adele Schroeter, principal of Public School 59.
Advocates said all the schools in District 2, which covers most of the east side south of E. 97th St. and the west side south of 59th St., protested the exams administered last week.
