Parents beware fields tests likely starting in your school soon. Dont let Pearson profit off your children. Your tax dollars are being used to administer these tests. We need to stop this madness. This impacts children at elementary, middle and high school levels. This is not a part of your childrens grades in any way. It does not impact the teachers evaluation or the schools standing in any way. Here is a sample letter you can send in to your principal: Dear Administrator, Thank you for all that you do for our students. I am refusing any traditional and/or PARCC field tests, for my child, (name of child) that are expected to be administered later this spring. I understand that (name of school) will be administering field tests. Our children are already over tested, and I see no good reason to subject my child to yet another assessment that will take away valuable instructional time. I am of the opinion that field tests use our children as unwilling and unpaid participants for market research so that testing companies can create their products. I am already opposed to the testing culture that dominates our schools today, and I will not allow my child to participate in any testing that enhances the corporate influence in our school. To be clear, my child will not be participating in any of the upcoming field tests of any nature. Thank you, Name of Parent/Guardian
