School Assessments
Whilst I realise that there are many little ones with learning difficulties etc and the worries that this can bring, I wanted to give my experience regarding these school assessments of an older child.
A few years ago we applied for our youngest for a well known school here. She was applying for senior school, year 11 and 12 only. She had already left home having completed her first exams and came out with straight A's. Doesn't take after me with the brains, thank goodness. lol.
One school did an assessment and our DD said the test was so easy but that the printers had broken down after completing the online exam in the school so they were asked to do it again, which they all did. This school then stated that her maths was below average. One of her straight A subjects.
I was dumfounded but we never said a word as it would only embarrass her. However we decided on another school which grabbed her with open arms after an initial interview and having seen her exams results.
She spent 2 years in that school,had an amazing time and left with the highest results in the schools history. She is now studying medicine in UK.
Even these so called 'amazing schools' can get things wrong. So all I would advise anyone is go by your gut instinct. If your child is not good enough for them, then the school is not good enough for your child.bye:
