[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know why you wouldn't want your kid to take the test.  Life is a series of taking tests.  The  PARCC doesn't affect thier grade or whether they move on. They may as well establish a baseline and measure how they stack up in certain subjects vs. their cohorts.  Also, get them used to taking tests -- they'll be doing it their whole lives.  You can hate the test, but its the SAME text being given city-wide.  Or you can keep them home watching Spongebob.... your choice .[/quote]

I don't know why you don't simply revel in your enthusiasm for the PARCC, leaving better-informed parents who don't share it alone. My state dropped the lousy 10-hour test six years ago, in favor of a four-hour state test in the wake of substantial resistance to PARCC from parents state-wide (nearly 20 percent of 3rd-8th grade students were being opted out).

The week we opted out of PARCC this year, we focused on learning about a fine arts topic of my child's choosing - Impressionist Art.  We visited the National Gallery several times during testing blocks, returning to school in the afternoon. [/quote]
