[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Opting out DOES get the attention of legislators and school boards. Google it. you have to hit them where it hurts... And that is the pocketbook. My son is a great tester.... Super high NNAT and CoGat. I know he can multiply and read because I talk to him every day. I check his homework. The SOLs are out of control. Tell your teacher that your child will not participate. Expect a call from the principal urging you to reconsider. They will try to guilt you in to it, saying funding depends on it. This is true. However, this isn't about a single school's funding. This is about a ridiculous system that has had absolutely no positive impact on the education of our children. [/quote] No, you are ridiculous. Not every child is your child -- we need to make sure every child is learning. Testing achieves that. Stop being so myopic. It's not all about your precious little snowflake.[/quote]
