[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's lazy grading. We had the same experience a few years ago and unsurprisingly, the teacher giving all 3s first quarter, was also phoning it on on the HOPE ratings/packet submission. AAP acceptance rate for DC's class was low compared to the other classes at our school with different teachers. There were a lot of frustrated parents

When packets go to central committee they are considered against other students at the same school (not just their immediate class). So all the committee will see are 3s for your kid and assume the kid with all 4s from another teacher is academically stronger.

Just be sure to put together a great parent referral with excellent work samples that support the scores. If DC doesn't get in, appeal. [/quote]

This is exactly why the test scores should matter more, especially if there are several: NNAT, CogAt, iReady, etc.  Kids with the teachers who do uniform grading for all shouldn't be penalized, and there is too much weight on the HOPE scores which are subjective.  Our packet did also include the final first grade report card, so perhaps that will help since your child had all 4's last year.[/quote]
