My son has never minded the state tests. He likes taking tests particularly ones he does well on that are multiple choice. And he never minds a chance to free read. Because of Common Core my son doesn't take any state tests this year. Not sure the details but it's something about giving the schools another year to adjust to common core before testing them.

Of the 3 days 2 hours, I suspect that only one of those days is math. Are you talking about opting him out of all of the testing? I can't imagine our schools allowing one to opt out of only one part of the test.
