[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are a few weeks from Thanksgiving at this point.  If they scored poorly on something it would be challenging to get a tutor and program into place for the holidays!  They have already wasted 2 months. [/quote]

Don't be a drama queen. The MAP score is not going to be the reason your child needs a tutor. If your child needs a tutor, the homework and tests you've received back would already be indicating that and the teacher would probably have already reached out.[/quote]This is rubbish.  The grades are always 3’s and 4’s. There’s little knowledge of where to help your child. We are putting these kids to the task of these expensive assessment tools 2-3x a year, yet we aren’t using them appropriately.  A parent deserves to see the results more timely than on a 3 month delay.  A parent who is aware of the sub-category deficits could work in the evenings or weekends with their child to close gaps and sub-optimal performance.  There is no benefit to delaying this information.  Presumably, the assessments are suppose to be helpful. [/quote]

I 100% agree with you, but I think it's ridiculous that PP thinks that the MAP score is going to tell her that her kid needs a tutor. If her kid needs a tutor, there are definitely other indicators. I have a 7th grader, there was no MAP in the past 7 years, yet somehow we knew that she needed a math tutor.[/quote]
I think the older kids are the easier it is. With small kids it might be far from obvious.[/quote]
