[quote=Anonymous]That's the way it should be. Parents are still hung up on their child's "rank" against other students b/c that is what they are used to from their time in school. Now students are measured against benchmarks which is the way it should be. I'm a teacher and I do tell parents what reading group they are in but only if they ask. I share their test scores with them but I have found that parents get way too hung up on where their child is as compared to everyone else. Parents want their kids to be in the highest groups even when their child cannot keep up with the pace of that group. My DS was one of the smart kids (and still is) but unless you want to home school, you have to remember that education is not individualized in public schools. Grouping is the best that schools can do when there is one teacher with 25+ students.[/quote]
