[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Putting aside the uselessness of the survey itself, the results letter was incredibly dense and full of jargon.  The second sentence is 50 words long!  Although the letter sort of says it's not a "grade", the rating scale is very similar to a grade.  The entire rating scale is poorly described and the two digit decimal precision is ridiculous.  There's also no other context given - how do my kids ratings compare to the overall school average?  A friendlier format that fully explains each topic with the student's results and suggested discussion questions would have been far more useful.

There may be some value here, but the average parent either won't understand this letter or worse, completely misunderstand it.

We'll be opting out in the future.[/quote]

Why didn’t you opt out to begin with?[/quote]

The SEL screener should never have been opt out.

Those kinds of things need to be [b]opt in[/b] with informed parent consent.[/quote]

Ok. But it wasn’t this year. So agian, why didn’t you opt out?[/quote]

DP. [b]I filled out the opt out form for my two kids but only one handed it in. The other misplaced it and never turned it in. [/b]

The stupidity of the questions and their vagueness is so obvious. My kid got a 2 for "how happy you are with how often race is discussed in school." I know he ranked it low because it's discussed ALL THE TIME. How do you think the schools will use his answer in the way they see fit? Of course, they will interpret it to mean he's dissatisfied with the amount race is discussed because he wants MORE of it. Any parent paying attention could see that coming a mile away.[/quote]

That’s not acceptable. I emailed our AP to make sure my kids’ forms were turned in. If you felt that strongly about it, you also would have followed through with the proper adults at school to make sure the opt out forms were turned in. My guess is you actually didn’t know because one of your kids got results in the mail. And now you are upset about the results. Sorry, no sympathy.[/quote]

You're right. I didn't care that much. And I don't care that much now. Calm down. [/quote]
