[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teacher pp here— our training for Lexia and ST Math was pretty minimal, and most teachers just assign the minutes without really understanding how it works or how to best leverage it. We’re all over-extended. I figured out a lot by exploring on my own. I think with a tech-savvy reading specialist more teachers could be doing this— mine is very nice but doesn’t seem to really understand the program herself.

(I am also one of the very few who really digs ST Math. There is so much you can do with it if you assign objectives carefully to complement class units, monitor usage, and accelerate the kids who need it. Also giving unlimited Jijis is a game changer.)[/quote]

OP here. Thank you! So...what would you suggest a parent do if they think their child *might* have underperformed on the placement test due to lack of headphones? Would asking if DC could do some Lexia at home be a good solution? I understand the levels are not grade levels but I did read some griping that they can take a long time to get through (though your information about why that might be is quite illuminating and helpful). Maybe DC will catch up just fine.

Also, DC's teacher didn't mention anything about a ST Math placement test. Are there any? I worry ST Math will be a real slog for DC who has been doing Beast Academy online for fun. [/quote]
