[quote=Anonymous]I have very mixed views on the PARCC as a useful testing vehicle, but I would like to point out that a large portion of a teacher's contract is based on PARCC results. Teachers give 100% to our kids every day. This is a 4 hour opportunity for your students to give back to them - and coincidentally it is teacher appreciation week. That being said, if the teacher is not doing your child justice, it is an opportunity for your child to show his or her lack of progress which also reflects on the teacher and is important as well. On the Deal specific front, last year there were unexpected computer issues, so students did not always end up taking tests on the scheduled days. There are also scheduled make-up days, so if you are keeping your kid out to avoid testing, it may end up being quite a few absences. To successfully avoid testing you may need to really stay on top of the schedule for the next few weeks on a daily basis.[/quote]
