being held to the fire. The same way with the reading resource teacher and the school psych. My son's tutor told me if we really wanted an eval, rather than waiting for him to mature a bit more, she would suggest an independent one since the district is known for making the testing say what they want/need it to.

Yeah, our district high schools are some of the ones using state testing to determine the degree the kids get. It's stupid! A test in 10th grade determines if you get a basic degree, an honors degree or something in between (distinction maybe?). My daughter just started high school this past year, next year her degree will be determined by her state test grade and she'll have 2 more years of high school before graduation. It makes no sense at all.
