[QUOTE="Bunny, post: 588947, member: 15810"] There are parents here who are trying to push other parents to do that exact same thing - "opt out" of the state testing. There was something in the newspaper about it this morning. Our state leaves it up to the individual districts as to how to handle student absences, however according to the papers, any district whee test participation drops below 95% can be flagged by the state and required to draft an improvement plan. Personally, I think that the Common Core Standards here on New York are set way too high. If I could, I would keep easy child home on the test days, but if I allow easy child to stay home, I would have to allow difficult child to stay home, too. easy child was crying at breakfast last week because he's so nervous about the ELA test. My heart. Nearly broke for him. [/QUOTE]
