[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So you think its right to pick and choose the parts of public school you want and don't want.  What if I don't think my child should be taught art - should I just pull them out for that period every week in protest?  I don't necessarily like the PARCC testing but pulling your child out for just those days seems like a childish response that will only penalize the school, the teacher, and potentially your child.[/quote]

I think it's sort of the moral equivalent of a conservative religious family not wanting their child being in a sex ed class and requesting that their child be exempt from that class, actually. One might ask why that family sends their child to a school that provides sex ed at all, which makes the school nothing more than a sex ed vehicle and ignores the fact that they also teach math and English. It sounds like what you're saying is "So what if you object to this thing? Your child should do that thing anyway, because it's in everyone's best interest that they do." People register their concern about and objection to things all the time. The OP was just asking if there is a formal mechanism for doing that in this situation.[/quote]
