This girl has epilepsy and uses a guide dog. What reason (no, procedure is not a reason) is there for her to submit to psychological testing? IOW, why was this procedure established?

You're talking about a 7 year old girl who has never attended public school before, who has a handicap that will probably get her teased, and who will have at her side a weapon that kills many people in this country every year. It's important to test the girl FIRST and make sure that she A) is mentally prepared for school B) doesn't harbor any resentment issues over being "different" from the other kids C) knows how to control her temper so she doesn't set her dog off.

At some time, everyone hasn't attended public school before.

who has a handicap that will probably get her teased

Everyone who attends school gets teased.

and who will have at her side a weapon that kills many people in this country every year

WOW her dog kills people every year?!

D) Needs the school to ask meddling, intrusive questions that are none of their business and just might get her medicated?

I totally agree we should lock this girl away from any public teasing. Since she has epilepsy, I suggest a padded room. Not to mention that Trained Attack dog by her side. I have heard many times of blind kids sending their "guide dogs" into attack mode resulting in dozens of deaths a year. (/sarcasm)

...and you refer to the Mom as an Idiot...

A Weimaraner? ROTFLMAO. It's not a pit bull, it's a hunting dog. Very gentle... unless you're a pheasant I guess, but even then they only find them, point them, and retrieve them (in most cases).

The weapon in question.

Chances are this fact will tend to limit the teasing, don't you think?
