[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In defense of 11:55, "top of his class" does not necessarily mean "better grades than anyone else in every subject." We have heard the same wording and took it to believe DC was simply one of the best students.[/quote] "Top of his class" does mean the child is performing well above the rest. It doesn't mean he's the most organized kid. It doesn't mean he's the kindest kid. It means he's the brightest. And true, teachers are not supposed to tell parents this but sometimes teachers slip up and do. My son's teacher said the same about him and my child has ADHD and takes up some more time too. I'm not certain why taking up so much of the teacher's time angers other parents. There's an assumption that if the attention were devoted instead to your child, your child would be achieving even more. I highly doubt that that extra time, even if devoted solely to your child, would result in significantly higher grades anyway. [/quote]
