Open Quote We had our daughter assessed for kindergarten who missed registration by one day because of her birthdate. The guidance counselor had her in a room by herself for less than twenty minutes. She did not ask anything about her history and was unwilling to accept information from her doctor that stated that she was cognitively ready and would benefit from being with same age peers or those slightly older than her. I have two masters degrees in education. This is not how testing is to be conducted. Close Quote
