Native parents question testing of children by school


Parents have shut down the school on the Piapot First Nation in Saskatchewan in protest of the way students were tested.

Parents said many of their children were wrongly placed in special education after being tested by a third-party company that runs the school for the First Nation. One parent said she had her son retested so that he could be placed in the proper grade.

Parents plan to keep the school closed until their issues are addressed.
