[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This year it's critical for your child to take the PARCC to show the widespread learning loss due to school closures. Teachers don't want your children to take the PARCC because then there's evidence that they didn't effectively do their jobs remotely. In fact, WTU advocated for no testing this year for this very reason.

Given the preponderance of WTU members coming on this forum to attempt to shame parents who want in person school, I wouldn't be surprised if this is another concerted WTU effort to try to get parents to opt out of PARCC.

Parents, please don't opt out of PARCC if it's offered. It's critical to have PARCC scores as evidence of learning loss so schools can get more funding to remedy this.[/quote]

Parcc doesn’t show learning loss.  The 4th grade parcc tests completely different standards than the third grade parcc.  You can’t really compare year to year.  You can say your child didn’t master this years standards but can’t say they lost learning from last year because it’s not the same standards.  The only people who think parcc is a good test are people in testing companies. Most states of gotten rid of it.  Your best bet to show learning loss is iReady or RI. This would show your child has lost skills. [/quote]
