Does anybody know anything about how KTAE is scored? After 3 months of war with my DD's teacher and principal, they finally gave her an achievement test (KTAE). They informed me that she scored between 70 and 95% for all kinds of subtests (math, reading, spelling, etc), 75% overall, scored for 8 years and 2 months (she is 6 years and 2 months). Why in the whole world would they score it for an age that has nothing to do with her age? In the stupid report (10 line long) we got, it was mentioned that she will be asigned extra homework (at the REQUEST of parents), and that she needs to learn to connect sentences (that's straight from her idiot teacher's mouth), therefore she needs to stay in first grade. Hello -- it does not add up. Independent testing shows she's better than 75% of third graders and you tell me she needs to connect sentences and needs to stay in first grade? I am ready to bite the bullet and pay for compreehnsive testing- whatever much it would cost, but I am questioning how useful that would be for the dear school system. Has anybody used any of the people on this list?
