[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Imagine how well so many bright GE kids could do if they were offered the same advanced curriculum!  Sad, that the calculus is often how pushy your parents are...

How FCPS is able to get away with this blows my mind.[/quote]

After reading the prior post I am starting to come around to your point of view. I really am.  The pp said the test only measures what a child knows on that day.  What a weakness in the process.  Wait, but isn't that true of all tests?  And wouldn't it be great if any kid could have thier test scores ignored by claiming "test anxiety?" [/quote]

The tests measure something which is a function of intelligence, prior knowledge, and how the kid is feeling.  What they want to measure is intelligence.  [b]A cold reduces mental acuity.  A distraction.  Those will all impact the score. [/b]I will not apologize for being an advocate for my child.[/quote]

but this is true for everybody. Do you want 5 extra points if your DC had a cold that day?  
The pp is right. The principal factor these days seems to be how pushy the parents want to be.[/quote]
