Our school did not communicate to parents that seniors could stay home, but DS's teachers told him to stay home and work on his college apps. Which he's doing.[/quote]

As a teacher, I am confident in saying they did communicate this several times TO YOUR SENIOR who is 17-18, presumably college bound, and theoretically capable and responsible of managing their schedule to the degree they know they don’t have to show up for a PRACTICE test that is only for 9-11th graders, which they should also know because they took it in those grades and know it is a practice test for the real SAT they take as late juniors/seniors. At some point it becomes ludicrous to infantilize students who are single digit months away from graduation and heading into young adulthood. [/quote]

IF the senior was aware that the PSAT was being given on that specific day, perhaps they would be familiar with the process.  But they were NOT necessarily aware of the PSAT scheduling. Sorry, just reality that not all students look at the APS calendar on a regular basis.

AND that doesn't help the FRESHMEN, does it?  or the PARENTS??

So, good for you and thank you, teacher, if you are one of those teachers who communicated to their seniors that PSAT day was coming up on Wed 10/12.  Now, how about the principal's email indicating asynchronous work, yet there wasn't any or not in all classes for the day? [/quote]
