when are 1st-grade NNAT scores coming?

[Anonymous]

I know it's January, but does anyone know approximately when this month they will be mailed out? I'm dying of curiosity.

Yes, it's the winter-to-spring GT madness. Can't just call it March Madness as it lasts until June.

Really, I'm just plain curious about my kid's scores! That's all.

No? Ok, then I admit it. I want to know if all those hours of prep and private tutoring paid off. I mean, I didn't let him go outside all summer because he had to study for this test and there was just no time for play. I took a month off from work to stay home and work with him intensively. We spent thousands of dollars on test prep. We told him his future is in jeopardy if he didn't ace this test. I just hope it was all worth it.

I know how you feel OP. I'm super curious about my kid's CogAt. I can live with the results either way, but I just want to know the answer. It's already been almost three months since they took the test.... so, it would be nice to know if it will affect DC's future schooling or not.

Maybe another week and we'll have the info.

Our NNAT2 score for our 1st grader last year was postmarked January 13 2011.

Why is it ridiculous to wonder when the scores are coming or to be curious/want to know how your child scored? Are we all supposed to pretend we're too cool to care how our kids did? Nobody's freaking out, people are just wanting to know when to expect the scores in the mail. If you have nothing to add other than "Jesus this is ridiculous," then why respond at all?

On the contrary.

For one thing you're all acting like this test matters. Of COURSE you are freaking out.

The majority of your snowflakes will likely just miss the cut and then you will expend an awful lot of resources retesting and appealing and advocating. Because you view GT education as a commodity from which your child should not be deprived.

So, I'd say yes, you are all freaking out. I'd change my mind on that if the test results were the end of it, but you know as well as I do that it isn't. It's only the beginning.

You're assuming a lot of things that are just wrong.

Maybe you should work on all that condescension in therapy before you start judging other people.

I know that craziness does come out.... but you don't need to attack everyone who wants to know what the test said. You apparently don't know many people in my part of the county (we aren't as intense as some).
