Thanks. That link was pretty informative.
I think 42 percent is still a pretty high percentage of kids taking either the PARCC or the SBAC, so that title is a bit misleading smile.

I go back and forth between having my kid opt out of the SBAC testing altogether. However, with all the "fanfare" (special breakfasts etc) that goes on with testing at the school, I worry that he may feel left out.
