According to OAE, everyone has been canceled for October, and as reported below, it sounds like they’re canceling for November as well.
You’re clearly not empathetic to the families affected, nor do you have any useful information to offer, so maybe this conversation isn’t for you.
No, it’s fair to say CPS is in the wrong here. People have planned their lives around this test. Parents did as they were told to do. They chose a date. CPS is now changing those plans and not offering assistance.
And now they are canceling November. CPS said it was because of a scheduling conflict with IIT, not lack of proctors. So while there may have been outside factors affecting CPS’s decision to cancel all those dates (which now include November), the reason they [involuntarily] gave does not align, and more importantly, they are not helping parents who had reasons for reserving earlier times. Had parents known all October/November dates weren’t available, they would have chosen the first available dates, not the last possible. This sounds like poor planning that is resulting in weeks of families having to scramble, with no explanation, communication, or assistance. Families who won’t be in town this late into the testing period (or visa issues, as noted below) certainly have a hill to climb now.
Possible. Except that I spoke with the facilities manager who would know about what rooms are reserved for the test. She knew CPS uses the space for the test, but had not been told that the tests had been canceled.
A child is compared to other children of the same age, according to birthday. A child of 4 years, 5 months will be compared to other children of the same age. They wouldn’t expect a 4 yr old to know as much as a 6 yr old.
I don’t know why I’m having trouble understanding this but… what is it about testing in November and February that is unique? My understanding is that they always compare children given their actual birthdate.
Nope! Seemed like we wouldn’t use it much, and I don’t want my four yr old spending time on the computer. We got the cards instead. To varying degrees of interest from the four yr old 😂
Edison is going to share a zoom link closer to the date. No further information from the front office.
