[quote=Anonymous]14:56 again. The homework is not a good gauge of educational quality, because due to different processing speeds, some kids may finish it in class and you're going to worry they don't have enough, and some kids may agonize over it at home, and you're going to think they have too much... I think MAP scores are a better snapshot of how your kid is going. Anything over 90th percentile means your kid is mastering subject matter. I love the adaptive MAP test concept. Grades in middle school should be all As. But all As do not mean much in this period of grade inflation and lower rigor, which is why you need to have high expectations for reading, writing and math achievement. One of my kids had a writing tutor in middle school, despite getting all As in school, because I knew he had a weakness in that department. It allowed him to start off high school on the right foot.
