    I don’t know why you are assuming when I am right here and you can just ask. Well okay I know why you are assuming I am just going to pretend that I don’t.

    It is one standardized test given once a year. Kid is sick during it? No appeal. Kid had a bad teacher that year? No appeal. One single thing goes wrong on a single day of an entire year and your kid lags behind for at least another year. No teacher recommendations, no gpa, no retest, no other options. Maybe next time ask before you assume.

    Oh and it isn’t some great equalizer either. I see tutoring places bragging that they can get your kid a better score on the test. If you have the money and the time you can get your kid in the program.

      Dude I’m assuming because that’s how I’ve seen it work. Once a year, cool. Pretty much what I thought. I don’t know why you’re trying to turn this into something else. Boy and you run with that.

      So your argument is more criteria. Ok cool.

      And see my previous message about all the things that it’s not about. It doesn’t need to be 1000% equalizer for public schools to be a pretty good friggin thing.

        Now

        Once a year, cool. Pretty much what I thought

        Before

        And I assume you can enter at most times.

        Keep your story straight instead of assuming.

          Did you just assume what I meant the first time? Oh no. And now explicitly against what I said. Oh no.

          Peace.

            I went with he literal meaning of the words that is an inference not an assumption. You assumed something not state while I looked at what was stated.
