[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH has two teachers for parents, both public school. He says that he thinks DC has been well above grade level all year but that teachers default to "leaving room" for improvement on early year report cards so that they can show improvement at the end of the year, even for kids who are just well above grade level. DH thinks the school could be doing a lot more to challenge DC[/quote] Both of these could be true. What grade is your child? I have a child who has consistently performed well above grade level. In elementary school, I wasn't too worried about this -- he was fine academically, and more importantly, he was learning key social skills, and was happy and confident. He didn't start to hit academic challenges until middle school accelerated programs -- and now is definitely being challenged, especially in math. [/quote]
