For 30 minutes, he clicked on some pictures on a computer. He got a score. Being proud of that is like being proud of his weight check at the pediatrician’s office. Are you proud of your kid’s weight?

I knew I’d get a snarky answer. My son is the youngest in his class and we struggle with focus, so yes, I’m proud that he was able to focus for 30 minutes and click on pictures (the right ones) and get a score equal to 98 percentile. He said it was a lot of fun and the best part of his day that day.

By all means, start preparing your parent referral now. I’m sorry he’ll have to suffer through the end of first and a full year in gen ed for second grade.

You all are weird. Why is okay to be proud that you kid scored a soccer goal, but not that they did well on a test?

Because making a goal in soccer takes effort, practice and teamwork. Being proud of your kid’s effort is different than being proud of his ability.
“I’m proud of my kid being an above grade level reader” is quite a different statement than “I’m proud of my kid for sticking with a challenging book.”

I think the problem is that LOTS of parents feel puffed up with pride over the NNAT (or deflated over the same test results) and then the CogAT results come out. Pride comes before a big fall. Just be careful...

These people are weird, PP. You can be proud of your child for any ‘ol thing you want to.

Proud that your kid kicked a dumb ball in a net?! What the hell will that get him later in life? Absolutely nothing. Now that’s weird! I’d be proud of my above grade level reader anyday -reading also takes practice and effort. And reading, unlike soccer, will take him far!

1. For many, reading actually takes zero practice and effort at all.

2. Kicking a ball effectively can do a lot in later life. It can help build self esteem. It can help with confidence. It can help with friendships. It can help with positive peer pressure scenerios. It can help with goals, scholarships, collee admissions, private school admissions and friendships.

3. Lots and lots of kids who are not at your kid's level in reading catch up. (And even for those that don't, you so realize that as adults your kid's reading level isn't some trumping force of nature). Reading levels are irrelevant soon enough and that's why we don't need to know, for example, what level a college student is as a sophomore v a senior.

You sound so awful.

+1. DD did not need to work hard with reading and never has. She reads well above her level and that school comes easy to her without effort. I’m not proud of her test results and am indifferent to any scores that come home. I’m cheering on the sidelines during every soccer game, because that’s where she is putting in the effort and beaming when she makes the goal.

I’m very proud of DS, who needed reading and writing remediation when he was younger and has worked tremendously hard over the years to make progress.

No more awful than the poster who chastised the parent who was proud of her son for doing well on the test, despite his focusing issues. And FYI, no one will care about how well your kid kicked a ball when they get to college. That will be irrelevant as well. And no, kicking a ball won't help with private school admissions either, but testing will!

Got mine today in the 22102. Does anyone know what the benchmark was this year for the NNAT?
