[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does DCPS have a standard form or procedure to use to opt out. I find the various information out there to be confusing and I don't want to be manipulated into having my kids take the test or being "duped" into it. I also don't want to incur the Principal's wrath for making this decision. Thoughts?[/quote]

Don't know, but I doubt there's a standard form -- They wouldn't want anyone finding it on the website and getting the idea to opt out.  though maybe this comment will give them the idea to devise such a form -- in which case I predict that it will be very long and complicated with the intent of discouraging parents from completing it and just caving and taking the test.  It will also probably have no legal weight, so don't be intimidated, if it comes to that.

Also, keep in mind that some schools are known for discouraging known "poor performers" from showing up on testing days, so they won't bring the scores down, so obviously some kids are already opting out -- with the active help of the schools. [/quote]
