You're wrong - our HOPE form was dated February. [/quote]

You seem satisfied to have me on a technicality...  I don't actually recall, it may in fact be dated February. Regardless, I said Oct because the ratings and work samples were 100% consistent with the 2nd grade parent- teacher conference we had in the Oct/ Nov timeframe.  When we saw her HOPE score later, we were not surprised. None of the conversations that we had, either the conference or after (even about very serious events like a group of girls refusing to speak to another 7 year old!) impacted her initial impressions.  From this I concluded that their process was to draft HOPE scores for all kids prior to the first conference, but I did not directly confirm.  I'd suggest that OP/parents do better than I did...  ask the question directly, i.e. how/ when are HOPE scores generated?  How do they ensure teachers are not just picking their favorite kids but the ones that best model the AAP objectives? [/quote]
