 PennLive's Candy Woodall reported this week that in 2010, nearly 230 Pennsylvania students opted out of state assessments in reading, math and science.

That's a small percentage of the 1.8 million students enrolled in public schools that year.
The numbers have grown dramatically since.
As more parents learn that they can "opt out" of having their children take the state assessments, that number continues to climb and the national opt-out movement is gathering steam.
The stories have garnered much attention on PennLive this week. Take our quiz to see how much you know about the opt-out movement.
