[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whole PARCC thing is annoying.  Instruction seems to slow down for all kids and the schools can't think about anything else.  We wanted to have an IEP meeting this month, but we had to postpone because of PARCC.  Also my DD was supposed to get more general education hours to help interactions with NT peers, and again that change was delayed due to PARCC.[/quote]

I don't know that MCPS can do much about it because PARCC is state-mandated, right? They can't have an IEP meeting b/c staff aren't available b/c they are assigned to proctoring and/or providing accommodations to special education students during the testing. NT peers also aren't available if they are testing.  As much as you hate it, I bet staff hates it even more.[/quote]

True MCPS can't do anything about it.  I think it's time to call my state legislator.  I can see PP teacher hates it too.[/quote]

Please, please do! SLP here. During PARCC I'll get small windows between morning and afternoon testing and will pull as many kids as I can at once (that fit in my tiny little room) and we play a game or do a craft, just so I can lay eyes on them and direct their language during the activity. It's not fair to them and it's not fair to us, but we're doing the best we can because to the school, we're bodies for testing and since nobody is really getting instruction, what do IEPs matter?[/quote]
