[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Daaaang you rich parents are annoying. You do not know anywhere near the detail about other kids to be able to determine if your child is in the right group or not. That is just the height of disrespect to the teacher - basically you do not trust them or have any respect for their abilities in the classroom. I have NEVER had a parent question groupings in 15 years of teaching.[/quote]

It's really arrogant to think there are not bad teachers out there. People probably don't question you because you are good at your job and don't stereotype kids.

There are not a lot of kids who look like my child at our particular school that are fluent readers in K. A teacher who assumed my child based on their race and ethnicity was academically behind put them in a remedial group in 2nd before testing was done. After testing, moved to the top group. Don't assume parents are stupid.

How do you even know this?!! I am a teacher and obsessed with my child's school stuff and ask him all the time. I do not know what group he is in or what level the group is or what level the kids that might be in his group to determine what level it is. (Except the one time during the virtual where the teacher sent different work for each group and I could draw my conclusions from that).[/quote]

How do you not know this? Do you have a kindergartener? Does your school not send home reading material with the reading level on it?
Once your child is in 2nd you've had quarterly reports hat report the reading level and you've had quarterly testing of reading level plus map. You should actually know this unless you're a really checked out mom if you are in our school district. But you may be somewhere where this information isn't beaten into your heads. In fact it's really the only feedback you get from the school at all unless there are behavioral or emotional concerns.[/quote]

DP but ok I will pester more this year- we had the MAP scores last year but the kindergarten teacher never shared a reading level with us and really the MAP scores were rather meaningless to me!  The class was big and I tried not to bother the teacher too much but I guess I should have. :(  They always got Ps on repot cards but can only read CVC words (like Bob books) so it seems like maybe they are behind and I need to find out if they qualify for remediation.....[/quote]

Another DP. Our school never sent home any reading materials in any grade. Did not find out reading level until parent teacher conferences in November. MAP was never mentioned until one first grade teacher told me about it (other one never brought it up). This was before parentvue/portals existed a few years ago.   Some schools may be pretty chill about all this, especially if your child is above grade level and there are no concerns to communicate. [/quote]
