[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC is actually pretty good in math but is sortof a scatterbrain so often makes minor errors due to things like not reading the instructions thoroughly.  Should we panic?  Testing shows DC has the raw ability but that frequently doesn't transfer to the classroom.[/quote]
I think kids can be re-assessed again in the fall, just after school starts, and again in 5th, at least, that's what they said 2 yrs ago.

I think you need to work with your DC on the issues you've noted above.   These things are important, obviously, but more so when in a fact paced math program where kids are doing the math quickly and accurately. How would your DC keep up?

But, I don't understand why you think you should panic.  As others have noted, your DC will take AP Calc by senior year.  That's not exactly "behind" as far the national average, more like on-grade, and in some cases, advanced.  If you are hoping that your DC will major in a stem field, I still wouldn't panic either.
