2) I had no control over him taking the PARCC test or not.  I would have preferred him to be in class rather than take a test that doesn't have any benefit for him, however, I don't see why he couldn't take both the MSA's and PARCC.  The timings of those tests did not conflict.[/quote]

I'm sorry your son's time was wasted.  He certainly could have taken both tests, but most parents would have objected.   Some kids had to take the PARCC this year, because it needed to be field tested.   Kids field test tests lots of times.   This isn't some new thing for PARCC.   When the MSAs came out they also had field testing before they were implemented statewide.   Some kids are chosen to do the field testing; your child's class was chosen.  I guess state officials decided it wasn't fair to make kids take both the PARCC and the MSA.   But yes, you are right, since your child didn't take the MSA, you and the teachers now don't have that all-important information that the MSA was supposed to provide.   It does go to show you that the MSA didn't really provide useful, needed information.
