[quote=Anonymous]Is this Mont Co?  This happened to my daughter in 1st grade. the assessment was at the very beginning of the year, & they put her in on grade math. The assessment included some concepts that not all the kids had been exposed to in Kindergarten (some classes got add'l, some didn't). I meant to do a little math brush up over summer but forgot. Anyway, showed her the concepts, she picked up super fast, & I asked to retest. They did, grudgingly, & said even though her score was much better, they class above level was too full & that he would give her individual attention in that class.  Well, the class was boring, she hated math, & he didn't do anything. And, she didn't even perform that well b/c she was so tuned out & making tons of careless mistakes.

At end of the next summer, I worked on some math review w/ her. New teacher (nice teacher) told me assessment would be 2nd day of school. It was, & she did great & was placed in highest class. Her friend who is equally bright did not review & forgot a few things and moved down in level. the whole things is a bit nuts. But, moral of the story, do a little review the week before school starts, if you don't want your kids' math placement for the year to be decided on day 2 of school![/quote]
