[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 14046, member: 3419"] Arrrrgh! Since when is pressuring a child to achieve, abusive? And what's their definition of pressure? We did private testing and there were several things that caught my attention, confused me, and that I disagreed with. One question they asked: "What is poetry?" The psychiatric said Chris tapped his chin and looked pensive and fretted a bit, saying, "I should know this one... my mom is an artist and she writes poetry." So his response was, "She paints pictures with words." Brilliant! The dr. marked him wrong. Grrr. I took the results to our independent psychiatric, because the place where we had Chris tested also had a school, and they were very pushy, wanting us to sign up right away. Our psychiatric had no agenda or ties so was free to say what he wished. He went over the tests and showed me which ones were valuable for school, which ones valuable for psychiatric, and which tests were basically "dog and pony shows." I could have kissed him! [/QUOTE]
