[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm wondering, too, if parents talk to their kids about their scores, or if teachers talk about specific scores in school. I'll ask our teachers, but it seems like there's not much point to talk about scores when they came from the preceding year.

My parents never told me my standardized test scores, other to say that I did fine. I didn't find out until cleaning out their files that I was consistently 99 percentile. I'm thankful that they didn't tell me, because I probably would have acted like an even bigger know-it-all than I was already. I now know that they're not very meaningful indicators, but I don't think I would have understood that as a kid.[/quote]

We don’t talk about specific scores unless our kids ask and fortunately, their scores usually are not cause for concern (their issues are in other areas! ;)).  Unfortunately, other kids know their scored and as they get older, they talk about them and compare with others.

I do wish the schools would email the scores or send the by mail. I think this would cut down on the discussion and allow kids with lower scores a chance to digest them before having to talk about them at recess or after school.

Yes, I know kids will talk but I do think schools could be more sensitive to the kids who don’t test well. [/quote]
