What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Woming
I understand practice ACT is not the same as the ACT Suite. But, what result are you hoping for? If the school requires the practice ACT, what is their penalty if you don't do it? Regardless of the legality when all the specific facts of the situation are known, you will have three choices; take it, don't take it and suffer the penalty, or don't take it and fight the penalty.Except for students with significant cognitive disabilities who participate in alternate assessments per their IEPs, all high school students are expected to participate in the ACT Suite. ACT WorkKeys will continue to be provided as an option for interested juniors (and seniors), but it cannot be substituted for ACT participation.
I agree with you. But, other than making your case, there is no set of words that will force them to change the requirement.They didn't tell me until afterwards it was required. It's quarter finals week and so I took the time to study for finals. They want me to go in on a Saturday and retake it. I was just wondering if their was any legal basis for me fighting this. I already took the real ACT, I don't see why I should be subjected to taking a practice one. My parents definitely won't fight this, I just need advice on what I could possibly say that would give them reason to look the other way.
You are not special. It is Wednesday. Ask them tomorrow what the penalty is. Why don't you want to take the ACT? It is not a test for which you can study.Not sure, but I'm guessing I would get either out of school suspension or in school suspension. Also I'm in the top 3 in my class, so I would hope they wouldn't take it to hard on me.
Who specifically, is "they" and have you asked your parents to try going over the head of "they". It does seem ridiculous that they are trying to make you take the practice ACT when you have already taken the real ACT.It's not even the ACT. It's a practice ACT. I've already taken the real ACT so taking this practice one is a complete waste of my time. They want me to come in on a Saturday and take it. Taking it is going to be a waste of everyone's time. Just wondering if their is any legal grounds for refusing to take it seeing as how I've already taken the real thing.
Its not just time, these things do cost money as well.As you mature in this world you will often come across situations for which you have to weigh the costs vs benefits. In your situation, it seems that you are only concerned about losing out on a few hours on a Saturday. You've made no mention of sports being impacted or employment being impacted - just that it's going to take a relatively small chunk out of your life as a whole. My advice to you is to show up for the test and take it. What's it going to hurt? On the other hand, it's going to save you a bunch of headaches...right or not.
And if you're going to edit for grammar? Try to do so properly...They didn't tell me until afterwards it was required. It's quarter finals week and so I took the time to study for finals.

It is a high-wire act to criticize grammar. I hope you have a net for this one.And if you're going to edit for grammar? Try to do so properly...
Do not go there...because she really DOES have a net.It is a high-wire act to criticize grammar. I hope you have a net for this one.
Top three doesn't mean much if you are in a class of three.Not sure, but I'm guessing I would get either out of school suspension or in school suspension. Also I'm in the top 3 in my class, so I would hope they wouldn't take it to hard on me.
