Thanks. I feel like the achievement scores are hopefully impossible to ignore or explain away under the current circumstances. I found the report very interesting. I hate the idea of slapping numbers on my son, just as I hated it for myself, but if it helps get him what he needs, so be it. I am thankful that we will likely get some services for him from the DYS program. I would have to make it my full-time hobby to learn enough about education to teach him the way he deserves to be taught.

That explains the haste to do the MAP testing, I guess. He says he would like me to be in the room. So I will ask for that, and see what they say. Oh, and I promised him a puppy if he does his best and doesn't quit until the end. laugh We'll see how it goes. Thanks for the dose of reality-- hopefully they are just getting ready to do right by him.
