[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]iReady is a crock of shit. My daughter clicks through and got horrible ready scores. I spoke with her teacher, the reading specialist, and the math specialist and they all said that her actual performance is significantly better than iReady.[/quote]

So your daughter blows though it and that invalidates it? [/quote]

She doesn't really make an effort therefore she answers questions incorrectly and gets abysmally low scores.[/quote]

Wouldn't a high IQ child know what's a stake and not click through randomly?? I guess kids can be smart and at the same time have no impulse control, but I wouldn't think such kids would thrive in a gifted or acceleration program.[/quote]

No, a high IQ 7-yr old doesn’t know what’s at “stake” when they take the iready. What kind of ridiculous comment is this? There are plenty of children thriving in AAP w impulse control issues. [/quote]

You need to explain high-stakes things to your child in an age-appropriate way, explain the relationship between answering questions correctly and getting a high score,  take practice tests at home, and offer incentives. If you don't do things things and then b*t*h and pout about low scores, you are a moron. There are no kids in AAP who have such poor impulse control that they are answering questions randomly on high-stakes exams.[/quote]

Yup. I had a click through child and I had a talk with him after his teacher let me know. Maybe my child is more logical but I didn't even need to tell him the stakes were high. I just said you can't click through these, it's not what you're in school to do.[/quote]
