It is a fact that next year at this time, both my children will be opting out of all State tests. My neighbors as well. It's a done deal and I feel relieved to know that an entire year from now, the decision has been made already. The opt out numbers next year will be embarrassing to King. The numbers will be staggering. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
