[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I see no issues with sharing scores, if that is what the kids want.  Kids share all sorts of achievements and it's about time kids can take some pride in their scores.  Children who make it to elite travel soccer teams didn't get there by kicking around in their backyard.  Their parents "enriched them".  If kids got high MAP-M scores because they got enrichment, I'm okay with them taking pride in that too.  (FWIW, it's much harder to do well on MAP-R than MAP-M)

Last week, DS told me a kid at his school ran a 2-minute mile, and DS was so impress.  Kids can make up all sorts of stuff, so you can always tell your kid that if Larlo said he got a 720 on his MAP-M, perhaps he is not so good with his numbers so take what kids say with a grain of salt.

Good God - are you for real?  :shock:  The kids who have tiger moms who "enrich" at home should be able to proudly tell their MAP scores to the poor kids or middle class struggling families who don't have the resources or time for enrichment?  Check yourself please.   Just terrible [/quote]

Kids will share whatever they want to share.  They share information about summer vacations, gifts they get over the holiday, etc.  I remind my kids not to share scores with others nor ask anyone theirs, but if they choose to share, that is up to them.  I tell my kids that if they choose to share, and they find out others do better, then try to congratulate their friends on a job well done.  I don't see it as a big deal.[/quote]
