[quote=Anonymous]I confess I lie on the form. I am on Europe and my kids are fluent in my language in addition to English. at first I meant to tell the truth but then I realized that there would be testing to gauge the English proficiency of my kids. at the time one of them had tons of health issues and we were getting an IEP and we really did not have time to waste on something unnecessary. in a sense, we don't lie because our kids' English is perfect (better than how they speak my language, which my DH does not speak), so kids do not need testing. we also save time to DCPS that they do not need to waste resources testing my kids, who speak English perfectly, and can focus on kids who may need support. I am normally a very law and order person but this is the one instance where I basically lie [/quote]
