I will opt out all of my children and spread the word. The truth will come out even if you hide the test and all the hidden dummy questions that you put our children through each year.

To get out of it takes a _unanimous_ decision, in writing, by every single family in the school. But we do it, and we get back weeks and weeks of actual teaching time for our kids that would otherwise be wasted on test prep.Jason Blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08181267035103592296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318734518772387227.post-51874002425994321592012-06-07T09:40:25.407-04:002012-06-07T09:40:25.407-04:00The worst "test" ever: Maryland's AL...The worst "test" ever: Maryland's ALT MSA: a Pearson abomination for kids with severe disabilities. It is abhorred by parents and teachers alike because it takes time away from valuable life skills instruction for kids with severe intellectual disabilities and instead requires teachers to waste time on topics like acute angles, Shakespeare, and DNA. It costs money, its a time waster, and the results are meaningless.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318734518772387227.post-77707806949655515962012-06-07T08:13:55.477-04:002012-06-07T08:13:55.477-04:00Thank you SO much for this!Thank you SO much for this!mmshepherdshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13237523193618230577noreply@blogger.com
