"2: We won't test your child if classroom test scores show that everything is ok. "

Absolute hogwash. Classroom test scores are not an indicator that "everything is ok". They are not a valid reason to deny eligibility testing.

At a young age, classroom tests are insufficient and  fairly meaningless at indicating if there are disabilities.  This is why many children are diagnosed around grade 4 as academic demands increase.

School staff often repeat this because it seems logical to them. School tests are not the limit test required to determine if eligibility testing is needed. You show that you understand very little about disabilities.

Have you read any of the prior posts where this was explained in reference to IDEA?

I am a mom who has a child who has had an IAEP for over a decade and his classroom test scores looked fine.

This is the same crap that has been spewed elsewhere on this thread and elsewhere on the internet works on parents who don't know their rights.

You are wrong.

It is absolutely frustrating to see yet another educator, specifically a special education teacher, repeat this incorrect information.

A parent can MAKE the school system test the child and if the parent disagrees with the results of the testing, the parent can ask for an IEE,independent education evaluation, ON THE SCHOOL'S DIME.

The suggestion to look into community programs like Parktakes is a joke.
