hi Dottie
thanks for your response- i actually don't disagree and am actually a little impressed that the principal, who i was ready to really discount, even came up with this!! I had always agreed with the argument that scores are likely an underestimate at a young age but now i am thinking about what the norming sample looks like if a lot of children test "low" who are going to eventually get it together and have much higher scores in the future. I think this can inflate a score. Time will tell. We are going to retest on WISC when she's 6 and get achievement testing done then. This stuff fascinates me too, Dottie. I had to totally hold back with the principal because i was so afraid she'd think i was an absolute nut.
