Last year, 2007, the GT for K-2 results came even out later (like last week in May).

Even then, NYC DOE spend up to 3 weeks cleaning up all of the issues: ex: missing OLSAT results, missing GRS evaluation, etc.

Having it done correctly is more important than speed.

PATIENT !!!!

HEL-LO! It's Thursday -- it's already the end of the week! If staff is there (which I know they are because I called G&T yesterday) what are they waiting for, Christmas? MAIL OUT THE DARN RESULTS ALREADY!!! “They will go out later this week.” HEL-LO! It’s Thursday — it’s already the end of the week!

With today's technology, there is just NO EXCUSE for torturing us like this!! For example, parents could have been given a login along with their original appointment dates, and then a webpage created for parents to access their childrens' scores with that login, as soon as DOE got them. Let's remember that these tests were electronically scored, and DOE has been sitting on them, probably for months!! RIDICULOUS!!<br/><br/>C'mon DOE, let's "get with the times" -- it's the 21st century by God, why are we still processing this SNAIL MAIL by hand and waiting MONTHS for results?!?!?

Seems like there is no other choice. We are strongly considering moving out of the city if our son ends up in a crappy school. Seems like there is no other choice.
