[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes. It’s not easy but if the child refuses to take the test there isn’t much they can do.

In my case, his teachers thankfully knew his much anxiety it caused him - to the point of self-harm.  As a parent, you cannot opt your child out.  But they can themselves.  So I worked with the teacher for my child to “refuse” to take the test.

If they close their Chromebook and say they are not taking it, they will be forced to sit in the classroom still I believe but my child never took one.  We had to pull him eventually but it can and should be done if needed.

I am a former teacher and I believe all families need to opt out of state testing. It helps no one except the central offices.   Funding should never be tied to student outcomes via high-stakes testing.   I’be personally witnessed the harm and stress it causes so many.  [/quote]

Do not generalize to every child the extreme anxiety your child had, please. [/quote]

Don’t tell me what I saw on a yearly basis. Thanks. [/quote]
