[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Really, the MSA is a big deal? It is a big deal to the school, because it is how the school's performance is measured...so the schools make a huge deal about it, but it is my understanding that it really has almost no impact on the child - no impact on you're child's placements or ultimately getting into college. If you miss the test, then you miss the test. Why require a "make-up"? Especially if the make-up is going to negatively impact the rest of the children.[/quote] In the olden days, pre No Child Left Behind, if kids were absent on state test days, they just didn't take the test. This led SOME schools, unscrupulous ones, to HIGHLY ENCOURAGE parents to keep their kids home those days, if the kids were not going to do well on the tests![/quote] That's a mild way of putting it. It was more like principals getting to their resource teachers and encouraging dumb students to stay home on HSA days.[/quote]
