Why not? First, he does not want
to be singled out as different, second, he will get some test-taking
practice and you get some information on how he deals with such
tests. Third, achievement test results are mailed to parents,
not posted on a bulletin board or made public in any way. Fourth,
if you feel that test results are not representative of your child's
achievements because the child came to the U.S. from a foreign
country, you may have the test score removed from the child's
record by filling out a form which you aren't told about unless
you ask.
The trouble with standardized achievement tests is that, while
the tests are standardized, the kids are not.
