[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just met with the principal to get the results of my child's test, and it was a complete waste of time. Th meeting was 5 mins long and she just said essentially "she didn't pass the test. It's a secure test, and we can't tell you more. You are welcome to appeal." So, I don't think there is any point of meeting with a principal for those of you who are wondering how your child did. I got the sense that there is no point in appealing--[b]the school controls the test and has discretion in the scoring of the results[/b]. [/quote]

Why do you say that?  Shouldn't a child be subject to transparent criteria that are consistent across the county?  This is what everyone is arguing for in all of these Choice Program discussions lately - consistent and transparent criteria that are applied equally to everyone.  Why should a child be "punished" because of where his/her home school is and what kind of mood the principal is in that week? Or how many other "smart" kids go there?  [/quote]
