[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, I'm not expecting clear guidance from DCPS on opting out. Pretty clearly, DCPS isn't interested in working with parents who wish to opt out, at least not if their kids are advanced learners likely to score 5s, like mine. However, civil disobedience is too strong a descriptor for opting out of PARCC tests, given that there is provision in the Every Child Succeeds Act for states to tolerate the practice.  Many states have taken a legal position on opting out since the Act was enacted almost two years ago. But DC doesn't seem to have done this, at least not formally, leaving parents in an opt-out limbo.  This is why I'm asking about other parents' experiences.  It's not clear to me if the crack-down on opting out at Wilson last year constitutes an official position under ECSA or not.  Does anybody know?

To be sure, we expect some inconvenience, pressure, criticism, risk etc. Never mind, we're not here to help enrich Pearson's, McGraw-Hill etc., but will do our best to pass our non-conformist values onto the next generation.  [/quote]

Because its not that hard. Sorry if you kids cant.[/quote]
