In light of today’s login fiasco, if you are going to keep state standardized tests @NYSEDNews (performance standards-based assessments are optimal) — then:
1. Parents & families should be informed in writing about their right to opt out altogether
2. They should also be able to opt to take paper tests instead of computer-based tests

Reminder! You can opt your child out until the moment the test begins. And you can opt them out of math even if they took ELA! Sample opt out letters here: optoutnyc.com/sample-opt-out…

Parents can opt their kids out of field tests up to the moment they begin! Check with your kid’s school and see if they are participating in field tests and opt your kid out, if so.

Tomorrow some @NYCSchools are doing “field testing” where for-profit testing corps use captive schoolchildren to gather psychometric data on questions for future years. Parents are not notified nor informed of their right to opt-out @RitaJosephNYC @DOEChancellor @NYCOptOut #tbats

@SenSchumer Senator, you seem to have gotten some bad information regarding this vote. The sky is not falling: paper tests can remain as they have for years. The PEP shouldn’t vote for Pearson, with its terrible track record, to get this contract. Read more here: optoutnyc.com/pearson-shsat

The NYC Panel on Education Policy should not eliminate the testing system for specialized high schools.
Derailing the SHSAT would lead to chaos and unfairly deny opportunity to countless students who work so hard with hopes of admission to one of the superb specialized HS’s.
English
“But regardless of where panel members stand on the highly-charged issues of single-test admissions or even school segregation, they should unequivocally vote no on this contract. To do otherwise would be to abdicate their responsibilities as stewards of the taxpayers’ money.”

Read the OpEd from our co-founder, Kemala Karmen, about our opposition to the Pearson contract and why the PEP should vote no tonight:

Pearson has a long rap sheet demonstrating its unfitness for even a dime of our budget.

Testing begins this week in NYC Schools.
Be reminded that the achievement gap is a policy choice. Students and Parents have a choice too.
Thank you, @NYCOptOut, for reminding families of their options.

You can still opt out, right up until the morning of the test. But, it helps schools plan when you let them know in advance so make sure your letters are in now, if you can! Resources at optoutnyc.com

NYC Public Schools made a video about the upcoming ELA and Math tests for grades 3-8 but they forgot a few things. No worries! We helped them out and fixed it for them here! You can still opt your child out! Find letters and resources at optoutnyc.com

@awakenlibrarian Funny you mention that because @NYCOptOut has been leading the efforts here, but I know plenty others have contributed as well across the country. :-)

A5: Wait, what? I didn't even know we could do that as a community. 😯 I knew there were religious reasons & private schools that didn't test, but enlighten me, please. I'll start a community here. 😇 #Educolor
