[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Folks, the best way to get your voice heard is to write a note to your school's principal stating that your child will not be sitting for any MAP or PARCC tests until the school addresses X, Y and Z which your student needs.

Don't let your kid be a pawn juicing PARCC test scores so more funds come in and get funneled away from your kid.

And if you really want an eye-opening experience, go tour a few parochial, montessori and independent schools near your house to better compare education options in 2018. Just take notes on all the things MCPS could be doing.[/quote]

Several parents at our school tried to organize to do just this. They were told that MCPS has a four week window for PARCC and your child will be tested without your permission. You would have to keep your child out for four weeks which is right at the window to where you would need to de-enroll your child. I have no idea whether the school can really force your child to take the test but MCPS was pretty heavy handed with parents that wanted to sit out the tests.

alternatively you could tell your kid to throw the test. it's not needed for grades nor graduation. maybe if you'd seriously consider turning your life upside down for a magnet program option. [/quote]
