[quote=Anonymous]The random and arbitrary nature of the ES wasn't a problem in 1st grade as DC didn't seem to notice or care. Its becoming a problem in 3rd grade. The kids are aware of ES. Sometimes the teacher will give the kid's rubrics that show what is a N, I, P and ES. The problem is that even if they do what is listed as required for an ES it usually doesn't mean an ES. The teacher has said that she reserves that for someone who did something truly different and way above the rest but its always in comparison. DC isn't gifted and will never be the best one in the class so DC has decided now to never try to do more than what it says to do for a P. This seems to be the norm among all her friends who just assume they could never get an ES if they try so why bother. This wasn't our experience with our older child who also was not gifted but willing to work harder if he perceived there was some reason to do it. He did put in some extra effort to get an O.
