[quote=Anonymous]Seasoned teacher here. As a younger teacher, I used to give parents how I saw their kids doing relative to peers. Now I will only do it if asked directly. TBH, sometimes when parents ask exactly where their child stood relative to peers, it creates problems for me. On one occasion, the parent was attempting to get me to admit that their kid was the smartest in the class. When I did not give her that answer, she questioned my competence. Another parent demanded to sit in the class and she gave me her assessment of every child in the class and why her child was better. Another parent broadcasted to other parents that I said her child was the smartest kid in the class. Mostly, I try to limit my remarks to what that particular kid needs and I steer the discussion away from the peer group. A good teacher can give you the feedback you want without a peer ranking.
