[quote=Anonymous][quote]This is not meant to be snarky at all, but what are you doing about this? If your child is testing in the 97-99th percentile but being grouped with the "average" students, have you talked with the teacher, the AART, or the principal about what is going on here? You need to advocate for your child! [/quote]

Not the poster you are responding to, but sadly, it just isn't that easy. Advocating immediately labels you as a PITA parent and it does not pay to go there lightly. And at least in our school, the difference in the quality of work given to the on grade level reading group and the high reading group is not that large. Every school is different, but our AART teacher does very little with the kids in grades K-2. It's mainly a grade 3+ program. There is a once a week math pullout, but I didn't even know that such a think existed until my child was in 2nd grade! The difference in how the school treated her once she came back with a perfect score on the NNAT was amazing. Or pathetic might be a better description. No, I'm not bitter..... ;)[/quote]
