[quote=Anonymous]I honestly don't get the reasoning behind skipping the PARCC. Your child has already "lost" weeks of regular instructional time in preparation for it. So you're not avoiding that, which in my mind is the greater problem. By taking the PARCC, a kid gains experience in standardized test taking. We applied a 5th grader to private school this year and they asked for PARCC scores as well as the SSAT/ISEE test. Parts of these tests are very similar to the PARCC. The application high schools in DC require the PARCC. The PARCC is also not that dissimilar to the eventual SAT. It all helps as practice for standardized testing later in life. [/quote]
