Do You Think Students Should Opt Out of Taking Standardized Tests?

Its standardized testing season in many schools across the nation.

Is opting out a good idea?

(TheNew York State United Teachers Unionalso allegedly called for boycotting Common Core exams.)

Its not an easy decision, even if you believe the tests are wrong.

How does any parent weigh those very real consequences against her commitment to doing whats best for her kids?

But of course, teachers and administrators are powerless, too.

Do I stand on my principles, both personal and political?

What do you think?

Would you opt your child out of the standardized tests?

(Or have you?)
