[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We deferred so DS goes to LIII and Advanced Math. The Teachers openly discuss Advanced Math and what they are doing to place kids in Advanced Math. DS came home this year and told us that they took a test and if you didn't score X on the test you would not be in Advanced Math. And the AART refers to LIII as AAP as does his Teacher. So when it is time for the pull out they are told that the AAP kids need to leave the room. Not Mrs. SoandSos group can leave.

We don't have LLIV for my kid but everyone in the class knows who is in Advanced Math and LIII.

We have discussed with DS that he should not be discussing his test scores or grades with other kids and when he is done with his work, he should move on to what ever else is allowed for him to do without making a big deal of it. I was the struggling kid, because of LDs, and have told him that it made me feel stupid when other kids would be discussing how easy school is or how bored they were because none of it was easy for me. It wasn't that I was dumb, I earned a PhD, but that I learned differently and we had to figure that out before I could soar academically. I don't think my classmates were intending to be hurtful, they were simply kids saying what kids say, but that it hurt anyway. You are not competing against your classmates, there is no reason to discuss how you are doing.  I have no clue if he listened to any of that because I am not in the classroom and I know that kids can behave differently at school but I hope he did.

FCPS has no idea what it means to be discreet. It reminds me the situation with the backpack program in our school. they were supposed to give low income children food to take home over the weekend - letter specifically said it will be done privately. Well my kids come home and tell me that they made an announcement that all BACKPACK kids should come to the cafeteria, so they knew exactly who is going. So basically outed all the kids that were getting the food. Why cannot just parents pick it up. So ridiculous to put these kids in such awkward situation in front of the entire class.
