I didn’t need a test to tell me I have clever kids

Every parent thinks their child is super smart and often argues with teachers over it.

Nor do the teachers after about five minutes chatting with them,

Teachers will think of you as 'those' parents who they have to pretend your child is gifted around. I'm not sure if you're implying you think teachers can tell if your children are super smart after five minutes of chatting with them, but, trust me, they can't, and don't.

A single “social case” kid in a class can fuck things up for everybody around them, it’s a fucking nightmare…

You sound charming. Can't you afford to send them to a reputable private school? Oh, That's too bad. Sounds like you're wasting the kids' "potential"

A single test is BS. A waste of time. A current score is not predictive of future ability and is pretty much worthless. I can tell you that your teachers ignore the score (regardless of what they tell you to your face), even though they seem to have recommended it - presumably they get a kickback from the company that tests the child for the referral (if the school did recommend it, that reveals more about your school than you realise). Additionally, the test has specific weaknesses. But hey, you get to come on Lemmy and post how "smart" your children are.

My reply didn't overlook test justifications, nor does your explanation actually justify IQ tests. Shame.
