ATTENTION PARENTS: ARE YOU AWARE OF THE FACT THAT YOU MAY OPT OUT OF "STAR RENAISSANCE" TESTS?


DID YOU KNOW THAT YOUR CHILDREN ARE BEING TESTED IN KINDERGARTEN?
WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THAT?
WHAT IS THE VALUE IN THAT?
WHAT DOES IT DO TO PREPARE YOUR CHILD FOR FIRST GRADE?
YOU MUST BEGIN TO QUESTION SUCH THINGS. NEW MANDATED TESTING IS COMING, BUT THIS IS NOT PART OF IT. THIS SMACKS OF CHILD ABUSE. WHY STRESS OUT OUR CHILDREN AT SUCH A YOUNG AGE? OTHER DISTRICTS ARE NOT DOING THIS.

IS THIS ANOTHER WAY TO SEGREGATE THE CHILDREN BASED ON INFORMATION THAT THEY HAVE NOT EVEN BEEN TAUGHT? CHILDREN WHO DID NOT GO TO PRE-SCHOOL ARE BEING SHAFTED. SOME OF THESE KINDERGARTEN CHILDREN WERE DENIED PRESCHOOL. THINK ABOUT IT. STAR RENAISSANCE TESTING IN QUARLES SCHOOL SHOULD STOP. THE TEACHERS MUST BE GIVEN A CHANCE TO TEACH THEM SOMETHING FIRST. IS THIS TESTING DESIGNED TO TEST TEACHERS? THAT IS CRAP. THERE ARE MANY OTHER METHODS FOR DOING THAT.

PARENTS: BE AWARE OF THE FACT THAT YOU MAY OPT OUT OF STAR RENAISSANCE TESTING WITHOUT ANY PENALTY WHATSOEVER. TESTING OF CHILDREN PRIOR TO 3RD GRADE IS PURELY A DISTRICT INITIATIVE. IT IS A QUESTIONABLE DISTRICT INITIATIVE. THIS TESTING IS NOT MANDATORY. IT IS AN ILL PLANNED EXPERIMENT. WE ARE IN THE PETRY DISH AGAIN.
