[quote=Anonymous]DCPS math teacher here... I'm surprised more families don't opt out of standardized testing. If my students do well, I get a big bonus but only families that are engaged enough to know to opt their kids out would actually go through with opting out. So we are not incentivized to ask parents to do that. However, my instruction in class would be a world different if scores were not linked to standardized testing. We would do more projects. We'd take more trips. We'd have more presentations and events. So in that way I wish parents got together to really demand an end to this high stakes testing that ISN'T SUPPORTED BY ANY DATA. In no world is it best practice to plunk students down for upwards of 3 hours a day to take a mind numbing test. It's not not the purpose of education. [/quote]
