[quote=Anonymous]Don't let people criticize you for doing testing to try to understand your kid.  That's just silly.

Our DCPS pays lip service to differentiation but seems to provide pull-outs only for the kids who are struggling. My advice is not to waste your time trying to convince DCPS to do something extra for your kid, because they won't. The good news is that there are a lot of ways to supplement with programs after school.  I thought it might make my kids bored with the school math, but it is the opposite.  Through their outside work they see how fun and challenging math can be.  Everything at school comes easy to them, but they see it from a different perspective now.  They get their school-assigned math work done quickly and can use the rest of their time for free time.  They understand that some of the other kids need more help and that is fine with them.  They don't get frustrated at math going too slow because they know they have challenging math outside of school.  [/quote]
