SparklyUnicorn Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 A prerecorded message urging me not to opt my kids out of the standardized testing. Doesn't pertain to us as homeschoolers. I assume they just called everyone and anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparklyUnicorn Posted April 13, 2016 Author Share Posted April 13, 2016 Uh oh. Big Brother has you on a list!!! :scared: Too bad you can't show up at the school and say "we're here for the standardized test!". That would probably perplex them. LMAO I've gotten some weird stuff in the mail. For example, I got a card telling me that my child's middle school year book was ready for purchase. I've lived in this district for 10 years, and my kids have never been to school here. I have no clue how I ended up on that list. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenbeanmama Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 We received a string of very agressive phone calls from the CDC, wanting our children's vaccination records as part of a "survey", chosen by "random phone number selection". We had gotten a notice in the mail, and then all the phone calls started, with the callers almost yelling at us when we declined to participte. After the eighth call, I was going to make up some children (Jim Bob, Billy Bob, Bobby Bob, and Suzy Bob) just to get them to leave us alone. Scary how persistent some can be!

The mail survey is "completely optional". The follow up reminder, the 4 missed calls...optional? Uh-huh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparklyUnicorn Posted April 13, 2016 Author Share Posted April 13, 2016 Is the CDC call legit? So weird. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparklyUnicorn Posted April 13, 2016 Author Share Posted April 13, 2016 Ok I googled that. Apparently they are legit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kewb Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I got the cdc vaccination mailing shortly after we pulled our kids from school. I have yet to get a phone call about the state testing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsuga Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 The only people who ever call me are "Microsoft" technicians and people who need to know if I would change my mind about certain presidential candidates if I knew that they were actually Satan in the flesh and ate babies raw. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reefgazer Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Yeah, NY has a real problem with opt-outs. I don't know where you are in NY, but some places (like Dolgeville) have over 90% opt-out rate and they are worried it will effect funding. Probably a call to everyone.
