[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Exactly! If they are able to send the iN pool letters, they should be capable of sending the CoGat scores too-no sense in a delay between the two.....just sayin'[/quote]

Quite logical.  So why the delay?[/quote]

One is a data file -- you know, like a big huge Excel worksheet for every 2nd grader.  The other is a set of documents -- you know, like a big Microsoft Word mail merge document -- that gets sent to each school.

Maybe we can make it easier for you.  How about recommending that FCPS just take the big huge Excel worksheet and post it on the website and you can look up your kid's score that way? Who cares if you can see all the other kids' scores, too?

Crikey -- all this freakin' angst? You might need some medication. Just go fill out the damn one page referral form and go have a cup of tea or something.[/quote]

You make absolutely no sense.  A large Excel File  could be manipulated to print each students scores on a single sheet, and these could be mass sorted and sent out in a few days or less.  Furthermore, the test was administered in OCTOBER, and it is computer scored.  Are you really saying scores could not have been sent to parents sooner  because they are in a big Excel File?  You sound like one of those people who always has a reason why something cannot be done, rather than a problem solver.

As far as lecturing others as to their need for medication, you should take into account that for many this is their first experience in the process.   It is cryptic, all base schools offer differing explanations and help in the process, and how the decisions are made by the committee is constantly debated.  I hope you are more compassionate when your child is suffering angst due to an upcoming school project.[/quote]
