[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will explain for the K parent.  This is a common pattern:  You love your elementary school.  But then you get to 3rd or 4th grade and your child tests on or above grade level at the start of the year, already knows almost everything that is taught that year, and has iReady scores and things like that which over course of the year go up zero.  You care immensely about the kids who are behind.  But you are facing down the 5th grade lottery and you do not know what to do vis a vis your child and middle school.  Not every relatively high-performing child is all that especially self-motivated or hard working.  [/quote]

I am the K parent. I appreciate all the responses and views. My child has special needs and developmental issues, so I don't think this future vision will be mine. I was curious to see the view of parents with NT children. My child already has supports put in place, but it seems the supports are thinly spread when many kids need them. If only settling for grade level was my family's biggest hurdle. Excuse my woe is me moment. I'm not trying to minimize other people's family standards. [/quote]
