[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just think it's extremely anti-civic to opt out of the PARCC. EVERYONE uses PARCC scores now to select schools in DC. The PARCC scores are showing some important differences between schools that are not attributable just to race/SES. For example here on the Hill there are schools beloved by gentrifiers that seem to be doing worse in some respects than schools avoided by gentrifiers (or are doing the same). If you opt your kid out of PARCC you're distorting the metrics. I get all the objections to PARCC (Pearson, big money in ed, etc etc) and I understand them. So fight for a better metric or better use of them. But to just opt out because "my kid is CTY" is extremely arrogant. [/quote] That poster apparently lacks the self-awareness to realize how annoying and self-absorbed she is. Chance of changing her mind--zero. Just hope your kid doesn't have to go to school with hers.[/quote]
