The district is full of other bright children who would probably test as well as your child--if they had pushy parents like you.
It's funny, or maybe not so funny, but they did use this exact argument with me. Why should I expect more for my kid when it is possible that many kids could use something extra if they but knew. Then why don't they bother to find out? sigh
Ds teacher has told me a number of times that she knows that ds knows all the info, but can use "use the info to write a better sentence" or "learn a different way to explain answer".
I also heard this argument. In fact I've heard it many times before and we're only into mid-third quarter of K. I wonder how many times I will hear it over the course of his public school education?
Melessa - I am truly not sure what we are going to do next year. A large part of me would really, really, really like to homeschool but there are many issues to explore first and DH doesn't seem to be OK with this yet.
I also really enjoy seeing your posts as you are one in an almost identical situation and it just feels so good to know that I am not alone, or crazy!
Nautigal - You are so right about stacking the deck!
