Yes, and if my uncoordinated 9th grader isn't allowed onto the varsity soccer team it will impact her chances of being selected for a Division I scholarship.

Except my kid isn't on the path for a D1 scholarship and I need to accept that in the same way that PP needs to accept that their 60th percentil math kid is not on their way to MIT and therefore not taking Linear Algebra in 12th is a moot point. [/quote]

I'd like to thank whoever posted this for the best laugh I had all day.  [/quote]

(takes a bow)

But I'm serious! Not every kid is headed for Cal's math program and that's fine. It's one thing to advocate for your child to reach their potential. It's another to completely delude yourself about what your child's potential is. [/quote]

No one is suggesting that my kid is going to MIT - least of all me. But if they thrive in 4/5 math, get straight As, and are viewed as doing well, then explain to me why my kid should be cut out because of one standardized test during the pandemic. It’s not like my child was struggling and it’s not like math is subjective, so no, detailing her at the mid point is bullsh*t. Not to mention that we’re a Title I school where only one class is 4/5 and many of my daughters classmates were in the care of siblings and friends over the last year, struggling to submit work online and all of the other challenges Kidd faced when their parents had to work out of the home but can’t afford a nanny or pod. They will hear from me. [/quote]
