[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SSMA parents with children in grades 3-5 could also not allow their children to sit for PARCC. DC does not have a formal opt out process but you could use unexcused absences for this -- and combine with media outreach. Press release headline -- "80% of parents at charter school will refuse to allow their children to sit for PARCC exam until the administration and board do x, y, z. "Quote from Larla's frustrated but determined mom and dad. ... etc" If SSMA's participation rate in PARCC plummets, that would raise eyebrows at the PCSB and OSSE and the Board may have to do something. [/quote] Another option -- protests and pickets every day, before school. Invite the media and give them something to cover. But you must have a clear ask / demand. Not just 'better leadership.'[/quote] I fear retribution against my children if we lean too far in on this. I suspect I'm not alone.[/quote]
