[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It doesn't sound like OP's talking about disturbing a class. You sign in at the elementary school's front desk, go to the child's classroom door, quietly beckon for him or her to come out, escort the child out of the building and return them to their class an hour or two later.  I do this all the time for medical appointments and have never had an issue. In a free country, opting out of the standardized tests should be an excused absence.  [/quote]

Are you for real????? Do you not understand testing conditions, which is completely different from a regular day. Keep your kid at home for the day, ask for the testing calendar in advance and keep your kid home for the morning or afternoon, tell your kid to put their head down and don't test, or tell them to do the best they can and don't sweat it!!!  Stop making a stressful day for the school re. logistics even more difficult. IT really is not that difficult  :oops:  :oops:  :oops: [/quote]

Get a life. You bring the kid in to be marked present first thing, so the DCPS attendance Nazis won't come at you, then take them home. Remember the case of the piano prodigy DCPS hassled so much over attendance that the parents withdrew her from Deal, and the mom who went to Mongolia on the adoption trip who got hit with a charge of criminal child neglect in the Superior Court, er, 18 months later?  No stress for the school if the kid is marked present.  [/quote]

sorry, a child has to attend 80% of the day to be marked present. If you are going to engage in civil disobedience you have to be prepared to accept the consequences. [/quote]

Our DCPS employee/conformist friend again.

In theory, but which school logs how many minutes a day a kid is in the building?  Ours marks a student as present if they turn up by 8:45, and leaves it at that.  They aren't even asking for doctor's notes when you take a kid out for medical appointments, though they could.  I can't see admins hassling a parent who sits in the cafeteria with a kid during testing hours.  And I'm not convinced that opting out of the PARCC constitutes civil disobedience. Gray area in DC.

Over 100 Wilson sophomore and juniors blew off the PARCC last year.  What were the consequences for them?  [/quote]
