[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm learning things. Sounds like OSSE's bark is much bigger than its bite where opting out goes.  Paper tiger.

I mean what they going to do, tie your child to a chair and make them take the test? Of course not there is nothing they can do in reality. Child and school however will have to deal with the consequences. [/quote]

Come on. Which "consequences?" This is the way school admins talk and it's silly. Unless more than 5% of the students in a particular DC public school opt out, the school's PARCC scores are not impacted. I understand that no DC public school has ever had even half of 1% of students opt out.

My child is happy to be developing a little PARCC Time curriculum with me. We've decided to spend 10 hours learning about the American Revolutionary War. She has no interest in speaking to peers about opting out - she understands that it's nobody business but ours. In DC, you can't blithely leave your kid in school and opt out - you have to take them out of class during testing blocks, or they will be plonked in front of the computer - you earn your opt out time.[/quote]
