[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What was the story about the low testing proficiency among fifth graders by the way? Numbers are dismal!!! [/quote]

It was from a letter principal sent out to the community on 6/13.[/quote]

No I mean what was the story they spun about the low scores? Any explanation?  The letter was bragging about high scores but that grade had horrible numbers. [/quote]

We have no idea. Wondering if we can get the data from the past years to compare. [/quote]

Bad parenting - refusal to reign in video gaming and cell phone use, poor diet, too much take out, not checking homework.  [/quote]

I'm not sure if that's accurate. My son has consistently scored in the 99th percentile in math since kindergarten. He doesn't play video games, doesn't have a cell phone or an iPad, we eat healthy home-cooked meals, and I always check his homework. However, he scored 2 out of 5 on a math assessment last winter. We weren’t aware of this until six months later when we received the gifted and talented letter. I'm really confused. Shouldn't the teacher/school have informed me if his math is really that bad, so I can help him?[/quote]

Are you and his dad smart? If no, maybe your son takes after you. Or if you both are smart maybe your son doesn’t take to after you - perfectly plausible. Even the most perfect principal (who doesn’t have any side jobs, never moves her car from her designated parking spot and smiles widely to all of the annoying tattletale parents) could not have improved his score. Dems da breaks sometimes. 🤷🏼‍♀️[/quote]
I’m not expecting the school to improve his score, I’m expecting to be informed, just as I expected you to have some reading comprehension as I explained that in my original post. Now I get it why some kids didn’t meet the benchmark, because they take after their mom (you) - perfectly plausible. 🤷🏿‍♀️[/quote]

Ooh - Testy Travilah Tattletale![/quote]
