[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you know that the committee is not seeing the raw scores, or the ages?

You don't.

So calm down.[/quote]

Direct conversations with the Fairfax testing dept. have confirmed it is not age normed.  There is no evidence that "secret" raw scores are normed and made available to the committee.   If such scores did exist, then by law they would be available to parents, at worst by request.

[b]Before telling others to "calm down", try and present some real facts as to why they should.[/[/b]quote]

Screaming lawsuits and civil rights violations for age discrimination over something like this is completely out of control and ineffective.  It makes you look like a crazy person throwing a temper tantrum, not someone who has a valid argument.  Blaming other parents and calling them nasty names and cheaters because they work with their kids, or send them to Kumon, or just happen to be Asian makes you look like a bitter idiot who is having a tantrum because you didn't get your way.

That is why that particular poster(s) need to calm down.  They are completely irrational, and aren't helping their cause one iota.  FWIW, I think the tests should have been age normed, but acting like some of the parents here is simply immature and irrational.[/quote]
