[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. One of my kids struggles with anxiety. He got 4s on last years parcc, but it wasn't worth his negative feelings toward it. The other tests fine, but I just don't believe in the premise of this test. I also think PARCC is not the best assessment out there. I think DC should ditch it like other states have. Why are they pushing to take this test when kids have already had a difficult year? What is the purpose of it other than financial perks to the companies? [/quote] 4 is an excellent score. Stop being dramatic. [/quote] You missed PPs point. She’s not saying a 4 is a bad score, she’s saying that despite getting a good score, her child had a lot of unnecessary anxiety around the tests. Young kids are over tested, that’s for sure. What would be nice is if we could not only have the option of skipping the tests, but if curriculums weren’t crafted primarily to boost test scores.[/quote]
