[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid got 136 CogAT and 550 on sol. Her 5th grade teacher told me I should fight to place her in pre-algebra. We didn’t. She started with Math 6 and after half of the first quarter, her 6th grade teacher called and wanted to moved her to pre-algebra. So she did move end of 1st quarter, did fine and sailed through it really and got an A.

Now in 7th taking Algebra intensified - a bit of an adjustment due to teacher but also has been working and reviewing at home and getting an A.

I wouldn’t parent place my kid. Sometimes is not math skills but also maturity. She said kids in her class are very disruptive and causing lot of trouble although they seem to be very smart. But their disruptive behaviors are causing issues for the whole class. [/quote]
I'd think that most parents know if their kid has a maturity issue.  If you have a kid who has never gotten in trouble, turns in every assignment, does homework without being asked and gets good reviews for class participation, there's no reason to think maturity is an issue.

I'm guessing parent placement comes up most often when kids have split scores with some scores on both sides of the cutoff.  Parents don't want a bored kid because of one bad test day.[/quote]
