[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn't the VA also on a 3-year run, in the sense that funding for it will end after 3 years? VA students can't take Cogat at home. Just wondering if there's a connection there. Perhaps Cogat can return once VA funding ends. Or if new VA funding is found, Cogat goes away indefinitely.[/quote]

I mean, there was always a protocol for home schoolers and private schoolers to take the Cogat at their neighborhood school. I can't imagine that's the holdup.[/quote]

But how unwieldy is that in practice? They'd have to dedicate a lot of resources to each VA child to take the test at their local elementary - scheduling, proctoring, processing. I'd imagine it would take a lot of extra teacher time at a lot of different schools.[/quote]

Not all home schools allow the testing.  Ours did not this year.  Mccpta does not care about virtual kids so it’s a nonissue with them.  [/quote]

There was no testing this year other than MAP. So there was nothing for the home school to allow or not allow.

As for how unwieldy it is in practice, to PPs point, what they did in past years was just tell each home school or private school family to reach out and find the date/time for their home school. The 'outside' kid then did the test alongside their neighborhood peers. It was pretty easy. [/quote]
