Kids are considered adults in matters of giving consent for medical treatment at younger ages, 15, I think, in Oregon.  That's what was in the back of my mind when thinking about Juanita's comments.  Art

I think that if they are 18 years of age, they would be able to do that . .
. but until then, they are MINORS!!!  If you gave them the right to take a
test against parent disapproval, you could also say they could take sex
education, could participate in sports, could take driver's education . . .
all without parent approval.

This would never fly.

Remember, if tests are part of the approved curriculm, then we can see them;
if they are not part of the approved curriculm, then they are
extra-curricular, and can't require our children participate.

They can't have it both ways!!!

Suppose a court were to rule that kids of high school age could choose to
take the test in the face of a parent's disapproval?


I suppose then we would have to examine whether specific forms of coercion
were being utilized by schools to persuade students to go against their
parent's wishes.
