[quote=Anonymous]No problem.  Well you are entitled to your view of a parent following the progress of their child with annual assessments (e.g., WPSSI or whatever the test maybe).  I don't know the poster, but I do know several families who do this, some homeschoolers, because they simply don't trust the schools systems entirely.  Some have had kids are in schools getting grade inflated As and then hit middle school (or when to rubber meets the road) to find out the straight As were a false security hidding gaps and poor teaching and preparation.  More parents should get more involved in their children's education and not assume (particularly in elementary school) that  because their child is in Big 3 with Big 3 teachers and has great evalautions and grades that their children are de facto getting educated at a reasonable pace.  I think it's a great idea to chart progress.  If schools can attempt to do so with annual ERBs to assess whether their teachers are educating their pupils why shouldn't parents have their own system of annual tests to assess whether the school and teachers are educating their children.  In this day and age of poorly performing schools and American children to outside and global standards I, too, am curious whether my children are falling behind the facade or charade of straight As.  A little quality control and assessment may be needed and I would not wait for the school or teacher to tell me for it may be too late and my child behind the proverbial 8 ball playing catch up.[/quote]
