[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I think scores should be required, period. The "doesn't test well" is a myth. My son with special needs didn't test well until we got him diagnosed, taught him organizational skills and half-medicated (he couldn't take the optimal dose of meds due to medical concerns, but a little was better than nothing). [/quote] So, without significant intervention, your kid didn't test well. It required diagnosis, training, and medication. What about kids without the resources and time and knowledge to get those things? For whom standardized tests don't actually reflect their cognitive abilities or their knowledge?[/quote] Agree. Plus parents with resources (like me) are able to get extra time and other accommodations for their kids. Going through that process I just felt so bad for other kids whose parents did not know or have the means to provide that level of support. [/quote]
