The unfortunate thing is some kids may suffer and some kids will get lucky, especially from lower SES schools who have lower cutoff to be in pool.
Equity means providing equal opportunities.

I’m an outsider to this process, are there people test prepping their 7 and 8 year olds for the CogAT? Jesus, burn down the whole system.

My son's class has a kid that skipped 1st grade and moved directly from K to 2nd. I know this fact because the kid told his classmates so.
I assumed the kid's Cogat scores will probably be high since it's age-adjusted.

There are some kids in my son's 2nd grade class that say a lot of things.

Id bet money that kid did not skip a grade.

He probably thinks he skipped first grade because his parents home-schooled him during the virtual year. I mean, they basically all skipped first grade.

And yet second grade is still as boring as ever, which baffles me. My oldest kid complained about how slow it was, and my middle kid still does even though I know many kids missed out on some things they were supposed to learn last year. Theoretically this should be one year when second has to cram in some of first and can move at a faster pace.

I was curious so I told my son to ask his friend. His BD is in November and he is 7, so he took CogAT before turning 7?!?

I wonder if it’s because a lot of 1st graders of this year have to go over kindergarten material. He gets to move up because he can read already (my son is in his reading group)
