| Would like to hear from anyone with a HS kid that opted out of MAP. How did you go about - email the principal? and How was the response? Thank you! |

| Why do you think there is such a thing as an "opt out" of MAP? |

You know you're going to get an incredibly obnoxious and entitled justification of how MAP is a waste of her precious child's time and how it's unfair for it to be mandatory and how her special snowflake deserves to have the choice of not taking MAP exams. |

| There’s an easy form to fill out to opt out of map. Ask the school for it. There’s no need for high school map testing. |

What do you while everyone else is taking the test?
Is it so burdensome to speed click the test and read a book? |

Yes you don’t take the test and instead work on actual projects that are due. |

| I don’t think you can. It’s a diagnostic tool to help teachers see where your students has strengths and identify areas to improve upon. |

| Why would you want your high schooler to skip MAP? It’s a helpful diagnostic tool and your child stills needs to take Algebra, Bio-misa, government and English high school assessments too. |

And most HS students know this, don’t care, and click thru as quick as possible to get done. |

| In the high school where I work, MAP is being used as an all-tasks grade. So opting out may hurt your child’s grade in the class. |
