[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't stand these endless threads parsing statistically insignificant (likely) differences in test scores indicating the "best schools." I am pretty sure my ADHD child, undiagnosed until this summer, did not score well and is bringing the school down. I can't stand that testing as it exists now isn't really measuring anything and is widely disparaged, until the day the scores come out and it is suddenly incredibly meaningful and telling. I was part of the education reform movement that led us into testing (Data! we need data!), and now I want out. How realistic is it to opt out of testing in DC (when private schools are out of reach)? What happens if you opt out? [/quote] You can find a way to opt out of the 6 or 8 days of actual testing, probably. But you need to know that exam content drives the curriculum on the macro and most of the micro level in public school. Even at the DCPS and PCS that claim it does not.[/quote]
