1952 or 2002?

[Guest guest]

Almost every day now Tanner is being tested for what Kindergarten

class he's in for next year. I was 5 minutes late today picking up

Tanner from testing so I just walked, and the testing was not quite

done -last page. They were going over pictures from this book -It

probably wasn't the same one -but it looked suspiciously just like

the book used the last time Tanner was tested for speech, and even

then they seemed really strange. There was one drawing of a knife

and one of a gun, and one of a hand just floating like it was cut

off. They still had a picture of the old dial telephone and old

toaster. Tanner (and probably most kids) would know a computer and a

cell phone -you know -stuff most people use today in 2002.

I'll say something once I hear the results -I didn't want to comment

in front of Tanner.

I guess someone believes our kid's intelligence should be judged on

how often they attend antique shows. Who makes this stuff up? Would

someone please update these tests and use a better artist or use

photos? If these tests need to be with drawings -maybe hire an

artist from Disney or Nickelodeon (I know a few of them and most of

them know that guns and knifes and floating cut off hands are not

preschool kid friendly)

Anyone else go through this?
