[quote]But, they remain eminently more qualified than you. You're viewing your child through a parent lense. They're viewing your child with more detachment.

So, again, their input and evaluation of your child is more valuable than your own.[/quote]

All but the very newest teachers have seen many, many children in the classroom setting and over longer spans of time. They may not be perfect (who is?), but they bring their background and experience to the table when observing the students in their classes. Their perspectives are a valuable addition to the screening process.

Yes, their input is helpful in the screening process, but they are not always right or always qualified.  That's why there needs to be a balance so when you have someone who for whatever reason isn't up to the task, a child's future isn't adversely impacted.[/quote]

Sure, but let's be clear: The parent's view is not the appropriate counterbalance. Too much confirmation bias.[/quote]
