[quote=Anonymous]These tests are all about exposure to concepts. Children who are exposed to more will score higher. It is not based on IQ or math potential. For that reason it is very common that children who receive outside enrichment will score significantly higher than peers who rely on only what is taught in class. Outside enrichment can come from tutoring, math enrichment groups, Beast academy, or even just parents who talk about math concepts as they’re shopping! For this reason, it is normal and expected to see a huge discrepancy between a Title 1 school and a more affluent school. It’s no big deal and why we remind the kids that their goal is to beat their own score and not worry about others. As for posting scores, I’m sure that was students doing it, not a teacher! Kids love to boast about their scores even when we remind them a thousand times to just keep it to themselves![/quote]
