[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the HOPE is terrible and so subjective. GBRS was much more thorough and focused on academics and the teachers actually had to write about the child. HOPE is just checking boxes and how can a teacher possibly know much in a class of 28 students. One of the category is ‘shows self awareness’. Seriously? How do you even assess that and what is self awareness in a 7 yr old? Another is “sensitive to larger issues of human concern”. Again what do you expect from a 7 yr old and how is a teacher monitoring this? [/quote] I agree with this whole sentiment so much. Our kid was in pool last year and didn't get in. Her HOPE score was good, not great. This year same level of test scores, but her HOPE scores came back more favorable...and she didn't change that much. Honestly she had a newish teacher last year and a more seasoned teacher this year. This year's teacher told us to apply for AAP. [/quote]
