[quote=Anonymous]There as been some discussion on these forums, but let's recap what has been said... 1) There's no actual movement to do this. You can choose to do it, but you will be tagged as one of "those" parents. 2) Opting out of the test does not equal opting out of the prep. 3) This can hurt gifted and talented identification/appeals and math placement since its one less data point and those decisions are driven largely by data points. This is especially true for kids heading into middle school, but also in terms of math groupings in ES. 4) Getting kids accustomed to taking these tests will help them later when they really mean something. 5) They don't really take that many tests. It's under 3 a year across all the grades.[/quote]
