[quote=Anonymous]DC was avidly into Prodigy game at the time. Parent Interface had numerous graphical representations of child's progress; Questions answered, % correct, types of curriculum, and progress towards completing grade materials. We took these snippets for one page to show math proficiency (performing well into 4th grade materials). DC also was asked to write a multi-page paper, which we shrunk and fit only 1 page describing why he liked the game. It turned out to be more along the lines of what motivates my child (competition), which we also leaned into in the parent write-up, emphasizing need for peers. We thought our case was borderline and assumed he'd be recommended for math only. Test scores (134 but predominantly quantitative strength), and 3s in writing (89% iReady)/4s in Math(99% iReady). I'd like to think the discussion on peers and competition likely swayed the review committee members, as the school samples and GBRS were underwhelming.[/quote]
