DD's school told the parents what their children scored in the CATs.
I've never wanted to get her IQ tested or anything like that, because at some level I didn't want to run the risk of being disappointed by the results and/or being trapped i.e. feeling compelled to Do Something[tm] as a consequence.
This is different from SATs somehow and I'm growing to hate knowing: it's like we've taken an unpredictable, fluttering butterfly and pinned it firmly to a board so everyone knows exactly where it is for eternity.
Is this a weird reaction? If not do you get over it by-and-by?
[I do know what they do and don't tell you, the reliability and so on but that doesn't help.]
