[quote=Anonymous]My kid hasn't taken any PARCC tests yet b/c he's too young, so I admit I'm coming from a place where I don't know much about this test. But in my own experience, there is some value in being a "good test-taker." Someone who doesn't get too nervous with the protocols of a standardized test, someone familiar with sitting quietly filling things out, pacing your time, etc. I mean, at least for myself, I'm sure I went to a better college and then better law school based largely on the fact that I am a pretty good test taker--certainly it's not perfectly correlated to smarts. So, I understand that kids don't need to be sitting through endless testing, but isn't it good for them to get experience with the process before they sit for the SATs, etc.?[/quote]
