Here we go. Another Delaware school district following the path of least resistance by adhering to a faulty and illegal Delaware Department of Education “template” for parent opt out of the Smarter Balanced Assessment. There is nothing in the ESEA that says a parent can’t opt their child out either. Keep hanging yourselves. Which district got caught with their hands in the “illegal response to parent opt out letter” jar this time?

thoughts and musings from a guy in his 50s
Just respond with affirmation that you received the message and still intend for your child to not take the test. Tell everyone that! The districts have to follow this procedure. Treat it as a formality and keep on keeping on!!!

Why do these districts keep trying to shove this test down peoples’ throats??? My daughter is thinking about opting her two kids out. They go to a charter school. I am curious as to how they will respond. Of course, she has to opt them out for me to find out.

I have not heard from any charter parent opting their child out so I would LOVE to see what happens!

Yes, it can! How did the charter react?

So somehow I just “liked” my own comment… Mustn’t be hasty!
I do not believe there has been a response yet. However, I have counseled the parent to accept any response and reply that they appreciate the information but their child will not be taking the test! I’ll keep you posted!!!
