Of course there will always be kids who are doing better!  I get that.  My kid loves gymnastics and recognizes that there are other girls who are way better than she is.  Her coaches have been great, because they tell her exactly what she needs to do to improve.  I'm looking for that same kind of feedback, I think.  I'm not a teacher, so I'm not exactly sure what I could/should be doing.

I feel that if I knew exactly what an 'ES' entailed, I could help DD improve in those areas.  Even if she doesn't get the ES, at least I can get her on the right track.

I don't think getting ES grades can be coached.  It's a matter of the child grasping one or more concepts and applying them to a different discipline.  I've used this example before, but after I taught my daughter how to read analog clocks she looked at a clock with roman numerals and asked me if I was 1 and V was 5.  IMO, that's the kind extrapolation they look for when giving ES grades.[/quote]
