Hello, it's me again. A basket case as usual since this whole school thing began.
My husband spoke with the director of educational services and this is what he was told:
"talked to Audrey Cummings, director of psychology.
willing to do testing on James, everybody wants to know why; it'll tell us he's bright and won't change where he goes.
social/emotional results of kids who skip grades not good."
I just know that if they do test him, the evaluator most likely will have no experience with g/t, or 2E. Isn't that one of the most important aspects of testing-to have experienced evaluators?
Is that something we should demand? If testing is not going to accomplish anything-not even grade skipping, why should we bother with these idiots and put my son through all of this? How can an educational system be so backwards in their thinking?
We looked at the Ruf estimates, and conservatively, our son falls somewhere between levels 4 and 5-moreso, 4.
Does anyone have any ideas?
