[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t put much stock in variable performance on standardized tests in ES. An off day can look like a disaster rather than what it was - getting sick, distracted by a classmate, etc. I trust the teacher - if you are worried, reach out and say “this test score seems lower than I would expect. Does it match what you see in class?” If she says your kid is doing fine, that’s as far as I would take it. Except for times that matter - like spring 4/fall 5th for MS lotteries in MCPS. I admit to watching the previous test like a hawk to make sure my kid doesn’t miss out on a chance at a good thing. [/quote] During elementary (since grades don't "matter"!) I would never reach out to a teacher over 1 low test score , if the kid was otherwise doing fine. Ask the kid and test her yourself with a couple of example problems at home. If she is struggling, by all means reach out to the teacher for suggestions and support. Just IMO[/quote]
