,ralph lauren outlet
Even before for third through eighth graders this April, some parents of public school students in the city were becoming more vocal in their objections to standardized testing and of the tests.
Once the tests were completed, city Education Department officials said they could not immediately say how many students chose to sit out the exams.
But on Thursday,ralph lauren femme, responding to a request from SchoolBook, city officials released the tally: 113 students opted out of the English language arts test, and 113 students also opted out of the math test.
That is a tiny portion of the number of children who took the exams. According to a spokeswoman for the Education Department,polo ralph lauren,ralph lauren pas cher Simon Amstell Performs Comedy in ‘Numb,’ at Theater 80 -, about 436,polo ralph lauren pas cher,000 students in New York City district and charter schools took the English language arts test, and 445,000 students took the math test. More students took the math test because first-year English language learners are exempt from the English language arts exam.
However, it is an increase over 2011,polo homme, when 30 students refused to take the English test and 37 refused to take the math test.
The city’s numbers were not verified by state Education Department officials because a spokesman said the state did not collect data on students who opt out.
A number of parents, responding to a and to organizing by opt-out advocates, said they wanted to spare their children from what they criticized as “high-stakes testing.” The length of the exams grew this year, and some parents were critical of the emphasis being put on testing in classrooms.
But many parents said they were afraid of the if they chose to have them opt out, and some said they were receiving inconclusive information from school officials.
Parents who chose to have their children opt out reported mixed experiences.
Janine Sopp, whose daughter is in third grade at in Carroll Gardens and did not take the test, said the school had been accommodating.
��We integrated her into a position to help the kindergarten teacher in the classroom,�� Ms. Sopp said. ��It was incredible; the kids were really smitten having an older student in the class.��
The school��s assistant principal contacted the testing coordinator, and Ms. Sopp said it just took a letter from her, asking for her child to sit out the test, for other arrangements to be made to assess her child. ��I��m expecting that she��s going to have a successful portfolio review,�� Ms. Sopp said.
But , who has a third grader at a public school in Astoria, said the administration there had been difficult to deal with.
��They wouldn��t give me my son because testing had begun,�� she said, describing a time when she went to pick up her son during testing time. She is also unsure about whether her son will be promoted. ��The principal said,polo homme Correction: May 30, 2012,polo ralph lauren pas cher, ��I can��t see that they would be holding him back,ralph lauren pas cher Sam Tanenhaus, Book Review Editor,ralph lauren italia, but we should know what they want to do soon.����
The family was subsequently ensured that their child would be assessed through his portfolio,ralph lauren home, and he has been promoted to fourth grade. Still, the father, Robert Kulesz, said they were thinking of transferring out of the district. “It’s been kind of a continual headbutt,ralph lauren femme,” Mr. Kulesz said.
And as for opting out next year: Like many other parents, they are worried about the consequences,ralph lauren, when their child will be in fourth grade and test scores will count toward middle school admissions.

== ralph lauren pas cher Ban on Advertising to Children Linked ==
+
+
Last weekend I met a couple whose children are not permitted to discuss movies or video games at school. The children don’t watch television, have limited computer access and have only seen movies pre-screened by their parents.
There was a time when I might have viewed these restrictions as a bit excessive,ralph lauren, but not anymore. With what’s being thrown at kids through media exposure these days,polo ralph lauren, I’m all in with an environment that seeks to filter some of it. As a doctor who treats children, many of whom are overweight or obese,polo ralph lauren,ralph lauren pas cher 6:33 p.m. Updated, I don’t think there can be much doubt that child-directed advertising is fueling the obesity epidemic. Now,ralph lauren femme A Program That Matches Mentor to Small Business - NYTimes.com, a recently published supports that theory with findings that suggest that banning fast-food advertising to children may actually curtail obesity.
Researchers found that a 32-year ban on fast-food advertising to kids in electronic and print media in Quebec resulted in a 13 percent reduction in fast-food expenditures and an estimated 2 billion to 4 billion fewer calories consumed by children in the province. While the rest of Canada has been experiencing the same explosion in childhood obesity seen here in the United States, Quebec has the rate in Canada.
Meanwhile,ralph lauren femme, in the face of our own raging obesity epidemic, child-directed advertising of unhealthful food to children continues unabated. The Yale Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity has just released a showing that little has changed since 2009,polo ralph lauren, even though the cereal industry claims to have reduced advertising to children.
Despite a slight improvement in overall nutritional quality of kids’ cereals, children still get “one spoonful of sugar in every three spoonfuls of cereal,” according to Jennifer L. Harris, the lead researcher on the Rudd study, and that sugar is heavily marketed: in 2011, 6- to 11-year-olds viewed more than 700 ads per year for cereals on television while preschoolers saw 595. Cereal companies spent $264 million to promote child-targeted cereals in 2011 (an increase of 34 percent from just 2008). Other companies spend millions more promoting unhealthy products ― and it works: television viewing and the associated advertising exposure.
As if pushing unhealthy food wasn’t enough, pharmaceutical companies are now . Children’s Claritin,polo ralph lauren pas cher, an allergy medication,polo homme, now includes Madagascar stickers and blogging mothers are encouraged to hold Claritin parties for all the neighborhood kids. We seem to have accepted the idea of companies encouraging children to ask for foods that aren’t healthy choices; now we’re accepting targeted advertising of products that children can’t possibly evaluate.
It doesn’t matter that children aren’t necessarily the ones checking out at the grocery store and driving up to the fast-food outlet. Parents are being bombarded with requests for sugary cereals, fast food and vitamins shaped like dinosaurs. “No” fatigue is rampant, and eventually, “no” doesn’t help. Other studies have shown that once children become teenagers and are able to exert more control over their food choices, . Years of being saturated with advertising for exactly the foods parents try to regulate can’t help.
What can be done about the invasion of child-directed advertising? Parents need to be aware of the pervasive advertising their children are being exposed to,polo homme,polo homme Economic Inequality and the Changing Family - NYTimes.com, take steps to manage their child’s media exposure, provide healthy alternatives to cereals and fast food and support legislation to curtail advertising to kids.
We’ve already seen the? about reeling in food advertising to children,polo ralph lauren pas cher,? but it is still possible that more cities will follow New York City’s and that state governments will take actions similar to Quebec’s. And we can always hope that more corporations will voluntarily follow the lead of the Walt Disney Company in for products advertised on all child-focused television channels,polo ralph lauren, radio stations and Web sites.
When the consequences of alcohol and tobacco consumption, particularly to young people, were recognized, ads for these products were restricted if not outright banned worldwide. We need to pay similar attention to the long-range effects of advertising obesity, and not turn our children’s brains and their behavior over to those whose measure of success is not necessarily the same as ours.
