[quote=Anonymous]It matters a lot especially in upper elementary. The teachers will be under a lot of pressure to bring up the bottom of the class. There is no pressure to challenger advanced students. My child was kind of in the middle of the class and really struggled. She was not behind enough to require all the extra intervention and attention but not smart enough to basically teach herself. When we talked to her teachers about her struggles their response was "well she's still doing better than half the class." We ultimately had to get a tutor and left for private. Within 2 weeks of starting private her teachers had flagged her for being behind and were providing her extra support to catch her up to the rest of the class. [/quote]
