Wondering if anyone has any insight. Due to DS's anxiety disorder and physical disabilities, I am looking to opt my son out of state standardized testing next year when it starts for him in 3rd grade(planning ahead). I can't imagine him sitting through all that testing (I heard they totally stress the kids out about it too), the stress of the testing would be more than I care for him to have to manage. I have found that the state law allows parents and children the right to “opt out” of standardized tests based on religious or philosophical beliefs. I have to write a request to the school district superintendent. I understand that DS's academic record or class options/schedules would not be affected. Does anyone know for sure? Has anyone here done it?
