[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have no intentions of allowing my kids to take PARCC this year. Please don't believe the hype about schools needing the "data". This data isn't as useful to teachers for driving their future instruction as some would have us believe. Assess the kids to plan accordingly for closing learning gaps...yes. Parcc...no. Thanks for coming to my TedTalk![/quote] I've opted my kids out every year. None have ever taken PARCC. You can send the Principal an email saying that you are refusing/opting out. My school Principal always gives a lot of pushback but in the end the kids don't take the exam. The last time the Principal was giving me a lot of trouble the Ombudsman's Office for Education suggested having the kids break the seal then read a book. Once the seal is broken the test cannot be admistered. I assume the virtual version is just opening the test. Other Principals don't care. It's very school dependent. [/quote]
