Polarbear,
You are the second one who has mentioned that the Working Memory could go up. That is very hopeful.
I "think" this is the second Case 21. They get tested so often that I can't keep track. Next month is her first EOG. I despise that test. I don't even take tests now that long and boring in grad school. Anyway, her Case 21 scores have been all over the place. I went home and asked DD what she thought about the test. DD stated "It was the more boring test ever!!" She added that she was the first to finish except for a boy that she knew. I wonder if her grade school teacher can give feedback on how DD took it?
So you have seen school districts back down from their own policies? I think that my husband and I are concerned about coming across as "pushy parents".
