[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This year it's critical for your child to take the PARCC to show the widespread learning loss due to school closures. Teachers don't want your children to take the PARCC because then there's evidence that they didn't effectively do their jobs remotely. In fact, WTU advocated for no testing this year for this very reason.

Given the preponderance of WTU members coming on this forum to attempt to shame parents who want in person school, I wouldn't be surprised if this is another concerted WTU effort to try to get parents to opt out of PARCC.

Parents, please don't opt out of PARCC if it's offered. It's critical to have PARCC scores as evidence of learning loss so schools can get more funding to remedy this.[/quote]

You must not know what parcc is, it’s not an assessment nor does it tell you which questions students got incorrect. It’s a standardized test that does not actually measure what students know, it shows they know how to take a test.

And you’re an idiot if you think that’s the reason. My school has plenty of info to show learning loss from DIBLES, iReady, Anet, etc. PS at the elementary level[b] it only measures 3-5,[/b] not great data measuring practices to leave out half of the school.[/quote]

That's normal. Yes, some kids before grade 3 are subjected to standardized testing, but this isn't part of what is needed from the state for accountability purposes. Actual high stakes testing doesn't begin until grade 3.

That wasn't the issue, the response was speaking to 'unveiling' learning loss through PARCC. It makes not sense to only unveil half of the school's children.

And standardized testing is a sham. [/quote]
