This week in the Opt Out of Testing - New York group (there's a group for each state) one parent shared the response of her school's principal in regards to opting out of tests. As you'll note in the email below the principal not only disregards this parent's decision to do what is best for her child, but he threatens to contact child protective services.
Why on earth have administrators let it come to valuing test scores over the requests of parents and their children???
Appalling!
The principal disregarded this parent's request and forced her child to take the test.
