[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you know how many kids could read[/quote]

The teacher told us how many children were in DS' reading group when we attended the parent-teacher conference in November. I am a little surprised that some may be shocked that parents actually attend and communicate with the teacher at the parent-teacher conference.[/quote]

We did attend the conference, and I communicate with the teacher regularly. About my own kid, not others. I know that there are four kids in my child's reading group, which is the highest one in the class, but how many there are in the other groups, and what are the levels of those groups I have no idea. And I wouldn't think to ask, and I'm sure if I did the teacher would tell me that my child is doing just fine, and leave it at that. [/quote]

I don't even know which group my child is in and I have had extensive conversations with the teachers about her reading.  I can only assume it's not the highest.  I do know she's in the highest in math, but found out from another parent (you know the ones that volunteer in class and know way too much about other people's kids).  Our school does not tell you where your child stacks up against other kids.  They only tell you where child is with respect to the benchmarks for the year.[/quote]
