[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid had an assessment for K and it was weird. They claim the assessment was going to be with humility, blah blah and the teacher my son had was horrible. She breezed through the questions in like 10 minutes. The admissions director seemed cold during the zoom. Just has me rethinking the school all together. The teacher had my son like a robot: Your name, last name, how old are you, birthday, etc. no easing into as you should do with your kids as they claim to be early childhood oriented. Sorry for the rant![/quote]

My child had a similar experience during the zoom assessment.  I was surprised that there was no warming up chit-chat to establish some rapport before the teacher started asking the prepared questions.  I'm not sure what they are looking for during the assessment of a child for k during these meetings, but if they were hoping to get a sense of the child's personality, I don't think they are going to be able to get an accurate read via zoom.

Exactly. I feel like if you engage the child first, they would be more inclined to participate. Especially a shy child. For example, have the child bring their favorite toy and ask them to tell you about it. It’ll get them talking about something they like and give energy. When you just ask about of questions formally, that doesn’t always work but if you want a class of all extroverts, then it is what it is. Like literally, my kid was not engaged. Answered some questions but not all AND he knew them all. [/quote]

That's weird. I wonder if  they pulled someone in who isn't the regular person[/quote]

I don’t think so. I think these were K teachers. Which really had be concerned because I didn’t get any of the untrue that this board raves on when it comes to NPS[/quote]
