The NAEP tests are strictly voluntary. Schools which accept federal funds must administer them but the students who attend those schools DON'T have to take them.
Hey public school parents. Tell the US Dept of Education that you don't want any part of their schemes. PROHIBIT your child from taking federal assessment tests. Beware! Your child will likely be singled out and sent to the principal. Admnistrators will browbeat him, even threatening him with EXPULSION unless he submits.
Know your rights! If they threaten your kid, SUE.
I had an experience like this in high school. The US Army came to the school to administer aptitude tests to the seniors. Huh? The junior officer started explaining the intructions. Then he said "Sign at the bottom, otherwise we won't be any point to taking the test .." We all looked at each other and dropped our #2 pencils. A mutiny!
Yup, the principal had us over to his office for individual interrogation sessions. None of us backed down. A few days later he sort of told us "Oh, forget the whole thing." and that was that. He must have heard from somebody's lawyer.
