[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do you think opting out will accomplish?  What does it serve?[/quote]

It means my kid doesn't have to suffer the stress of test that is used to fire teachers, fire principals, encourage cheating by administrators, or to pay them bonuses.

What does my kid get out of the tests?  Nothing in the aforementioned list.

High stakes annual testing from 2nd grade on up is madness. [/quote]

And what is your plant to yank your kid away from the whole curriculum that is created backwards from the "high stakes annual testing" ?  I will stipulate that multiplication is multiplication and critically necessary in life -- testing school, Waldorf, kibbutz or Sidwell.

But what about the other 80% of the curriculum that is discretionary?  What kind of stand are YOU going to take using your child as a pawn to show the world your displeasure with that ^^ shit show?   Keep them home from school except for the 4 hours a week they have math and PE ? [/quote]
