Well, you can see that there can be very little opportunity for your child to show what she knows and is capable of unless you can get them to pay attention and actually test her.
My DS9 had the same experience. He went into pre-K reading and when I told his teacher, she looked at me like I was speaking Martian to her. So, no help with reading that whole year. Kindergarten was better (the K teacher was more open-minded). But they still had him on low-level SRA cards. There was some rule about having to master the previous level before moving to the next one. Jumping into the middle wasn't allowed for some reason.
