[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] If your child KNOWS they are reading above grade level they don't expect to get a higher grade than their friend in class that is reading and struggling with simpler material? If you have mastered grade level material and are performing ABOVE grade level should you not get a grade that reflects that? What kind of message does that send kids, or even more telling, when the get out of ESPIN land and get to real grades in higher levels how do you shift their expectations to perform at the highest level possible? They are being trained to meet the middle and not be rewarded with a higher grade for higher achievement. [/quote] Are you asking about my child? My child is reading above grade level. She doesn't know what grade her friend in class is getting, and she doesn't care. The message she is getting is to do her best. When she gets to middle school, I expect (or, anyway, I hope) that what she will do is her best.[/quote]
