[quote=Anonymous] I was forced to take my kid to a psychologist because he couldn't pass the 5th grade standardized writing test. Yes, the school told us to do that. Why? Because he threatened to kill himself if he had to take the test. In 5th grade. I wish I had known about opt out (there was no such movement back then). He was forced to take the test. I can't tell you how stressful that whole year was for him and us. I could care less whether he passes or fails on this stuff. I know that he is improving and that's all I need to know. And you can tell me until the cows come home that this was the fault of my school. NO. It was the fault of a system that punishes schools based on their test scores. The pressure on the school was intense. Now they want to put that on the teachers. Hell no. [/quote]
