I did finally talk to C last weekend about the testing. I was quite surprised that he had no questions at all. I told him he’d be going back to the same school where he did some tests before to do two more math and reading tests and he just accepted it. This is really out of character for C, who usually questions everything to the point that I lose my patience. I guess he’s either so used to this kind of testing that it doesn’t phase him anymore or maybe he already knows what’s going on.
It was a lot to ask of him in one day, to take two math and reading tests in a strange school with strange people. Although they said they give their students the same tests, they don’t take so many at once, and C did not get to work on them independently. There were sections where he had to read aloud, which I’m kind of doubting they have all of their students do unless they individually administer these tests to each kid. I just don’t want them comparing apples to oranges.
We’re still waiting on the results and an updated version of C’s GIEP from the school district. We’re set to meet with them on Tuesday and I’ve been e-mailing and leaving voicemails asking when we would have the information so that we have time to review it prior to the meeting. No one has gotten back to me and likely won’t until Monday. Unless it shows up in the mail tomorrow, we will have little or no time to review it before the meeting…
