In reply to the discussion: my son's school district did it again [View all]MannyGoldstein

May I ask what state you live in?
Sorry if I'm being weirdly obsessive... When kids don't get the education they're entitled to, I get a bit nutty and want to try to help, but feel free to tell me to go away, it's late and you're probably tired!

Why are you letting them administer the test? I would opt him out or keep him home those days.
