Dottie, you've played this waiting game longer than I, but doesn't it seem that they don't mail things at the end of the week, they mail them on Monday? I'd guess a sprinkling of results will be in hand tomorrow and the majority on Wednesday. But,

Your son sounds so much like mine did early in his education (he's 12 and in middle school now). I wish I had known then what I know now...that my son is 2e (twice exceptional). He is gifted, but he has specific learning disabilities that mask his g

Good for you for being "that" teacher! Maybe the mother will come around ... denial is not unheard of, even on this board. Is the girl an only child? Maybe, as the mother gains more comparable information about her child vs. age peers,
