[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 442264, member: 1233"] This is just sick. THe test score thing doesn't surprise me. Be aware that there is a LOT of bias written into standardized tests - the SAT, ACT, GMAT, etc... truly ARE biased against lower socioeconomic groups. DOn't know about these tests but it is really EASY to write a biased test - esp if the test taker hasn't had some sort of class (tests in a school like a math or spelling test have alower chance of this bias). I still think the test results should have been kept, unless they can explain to the people what the bias was in the testing - with examples. The treatment of the disabled, esp minors who "look" normal, is disgusting in this country. [/QUOTE]
