[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I am curious, but if a kid is getting all A’s and high test scores, than this an indication that they are learning and applying what they are learning. How can we also say they are high performing and also argue that they are not learning?[/quote] This is before we moved here, but my DC was a high performer for years without learning anything. When your kid has already met grade level standards before the school year starts, the teachers are free to ignore them entirely. (And no, before you ask, we did not supplement.) I think this gets harder to do as the kids get older because there’s more content in science and social studies, and math introduces more new concepts. But for kids who pick up new material easily, they can perform extremely well without ever being challenged, even in the upper grades. [/quote]
