[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So one "concern" of my spouse is that they know kids in FCPS who are "getting 4s" even though they are not geniuses. I know VA is not Common Core. However, they seem to be doing standards based scoring (at least at young ages). Is FCPS (or perhaps that school in particular) inflating scores to look good or make the parents happy? My understanding thus far is that 3s and 2s are fine (K), that 4s are rare and 1s are concerning. However, my spouse has challenges with that given the FCPS "comparison".[/quote]

If you are not in FCPS, why on earth does he care how some random school there handles report cards? Honestly, that is pretty messed up. Does he think all schools use the some method to communicate to parents how their chid is progressing? Does he think that there is some sort of national kindergarten ranking? Or is he just worried that his office mate's K-kid got all 4s and he can't prove your kid is smarter?

By the way VA is more Common Core than they want their parents to realize. The standards of learning are nearly identical (and lots of VA school use the same diagnostic software that CC schools use, like iReady). Stop listening to hype and focus on your own child.[/quote]
