[quote=Anonymous]MAP tests knowledge of material, not aptitude, so no, school did not make your kid dumber. If your kid is getting scores that would make them qualify for GT they are likely answering questions on the test that are well beyond the content they are doing in class (i.e. a kid who scores a 95th percentile is answering questions correctly that are grade levels above where they currently are in school). If you prepped your DC at all for the test last year by providing more advanced work and did not do that this time, then that could bring their score down. If not, all of those questions they answered correctly last year that were grade levels beyond where they were in class are now being answered correctly by a greater number of kids because they are catching up. The only way to make sure your DC continues to stay at or better than where they are currently is to teach them higher level math (again, assuming they are scoring toward the top).[/quote]
