[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]will your kid bring up the class average or bring it down? If you'll hurt the class average, you are also hurting your child's teacher at a DCPS. At a charter, if enough parents opt out you could put the charter at risk.[/quote]

I don't understand what you're saying. My SN child in a highly performing school will almost definitely hurt the class average if he takes the exam. So by your reasoning, should we opt out to help the teacher?[/quote]

Nobody's telling you what you should or shouldn't do. Every family makes that decision for themselves. But it sounds like reducing the teacher's chance at a bonus shouldn't be part of your individual calculus. [/quote]

That's my point. The PP was saying that a high performing student shouldn't opt out because that would bring the class average down. If tests are valuable, they are valuable for everyone. If they aren't valuable, then they aren't valuable for anyone. Making a decision based on how well you expect your child to do is silly.[/quote]
