[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I got my DS's application package today, and his HOPE scale is dated 11/XX/2023.  I was so surprised that it was done so early.

On another thread someone posted on 12/XX2023 that she got a copy of her child's HOPE scale.   So I think she got to see it soon after it was filled out, and I am being a dummy to wait until now.

The person who had posted their scores had applied from a private school so the application process was different. I would be surprised if your child’s was completed in November given that applications were not due until December. [/quote]

On the HOPE scale sheet it has a date on the upper right corner, it says 11/XX/2023.  The AAP package summary sheet has Feb. 2024 date.  I don't want to ask AART for such trivial thing, but I assume the Nov. date is there because that's the time they filled it out.  My child is a typical 2nd grader candidate, being with FCPS from K etc.

The HOPE scale my DS got isn't great.  Best rating was "Often", not a single Always or Almost Always, as compared to that "private school" sample.  Kind of relieved it's from private school and wondering if FCPS scores are universally lower?  Not going to lie but I strongly disagree with the rating.  Respect the teachers and it's what it is, can't argue with the score card even it is wrong.  We'll see if he gets in. [/quote]

I think kids don’t always show the same things in school as they do at home. So while you may disagree, it may be what she is seeing in the classroom. [/quote]

That's why I know arguing this is fruitless, of course the rating has presumption of validity in everyone else's eyes.  I am not a crazy person.

But I also took my sons to sports and other enrichment activities.  The rating doesn't conform to what I observed in those places, esp. social aspect.  Trust me I am the one trying not to be over-critical of my own son.

Hope he gets in despite of it, otherwise I'd certainly be appealing. [/quote]
