    Stop Pointless Testing MCA II Opt-Out Letter


    Because I am against testing that does not help my child or my teacher, I am not allowing my son/daughter _________ to participate in the MCA II reading and math tests this year.

    I am joining parents across the state in requesting that the school allow my child to do homework, arts, music, phy ed or other activities that have been squeezed out because of testing.

    I will allow my child to be tested on NWEA tests that offer true help for my child and my teacher. If you cannot accommodate this request, please notify me and I will keep my child home during the testing days.

    Again, I am not against testing, but I am against pointless testing designed solely to rate schools without regard to whether results can help my child or teacher.

    Sincerely,

    — letter
    parents of children subject to MCA II testing
