[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fair point. The first group of parents who opted out on NCLB mandated tests, at a MS in Scarsdale NY, faced many barriers. Flash forward 15 years and opting-out has become so commonplace in the State of NY, the national opt-out epicenter (where 20% of students refuse to take state standardized tests), that the test has been re-designed to induce parents to opt-in. This year, results in NY are not linked to teachers evaluations for the first time, and there are no longer testing time limits. Here in DC, the opt-out movement hasn't gained much traction. The small number of families (1%?) who opt out should expect headaches and hard work as local opt-out pioneers. [/quote] Wow. Opt outs in NY are changing the obsession with testing? Great!![/quote]
