[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t want to get fired because I currently teach at Deal, but all you have to do is go in and refuse to take it.

There is no federal mandate that says you have to.

If you morally are against standardized testing, your child says that s/he doesn’t want to, legally, they can’t make you or further penalize you for it.

I have at least five students every year that don’t take it for various reasons.

Nothing happens. The school makes veiled threats.

I am an 8th grade teacher. Mr. Rottman will try and do what he does to all of his teachers and give you platitudes, talk around the issue. Next, he’ll try and diffuse it but when he realizes that he can’t win, he’ll get Ms. Neal involved.

Just politely repeat that you don’t want your child(ren) to take it. They eventually have to comply.

Exactly, they can't literally force a child to take a test nor can they force you not to come to school. This applies to any DCPS school...

Best of luck. [/quote][/quote]
