[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am curious about the age adjusted thing. Your child will be in a classroom with the other kids of all ages and that will be who s/he has to keep up with, so why would they age adjust? I know they do on the national test, but this is for a different purpose. I know I'll get flamed but I'm genuinely curious. Full disclosure: my kid is not in the pool (or even close) and age adjusting probably wouldn't have gotten her in anyway so I don't care either way. I'm just trying to understand.[/quote] So, it is OK that kids, who did not get in the pool because their NNAT and CogAT scores were not high enough, are parent-referred and can get in, and everyone says they can do as well as the rest of the in-pool kids. It's only the younger kids who have to demonstrate (through not age-adjusting tests that are designed to be age-adjusted) that they are as good as kids sometimes one year older. Am I the only one who sees the contradiction here?[/quote]
