[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the CES can be really hard for an anxious kid. At ours they asked kids to say their MAP scores aloud and everyone is high achieving and nosy. DD didn't care even though she had some low scores relatively speaking, but I know this made some of her friends feel very insecure. It was not uncommon for kids to start crying in the middle of class. She hadn't seen this as much at her previous school.[/quote]

I think it’s super-important to say which school you’re referring to when you say something like this. This would be frowned upon in any educational setting.

We never, ever had anything like that at Pine Crest, although to be fair that was a couple of years ago. I’d want to know if something like this were really happening in a school I was considering sending my kid to.

But by not mentioning the school by name, you leave yourself open to being written off as one of the anti-CES trolls who lurk on these boards. Please let these prospective parents know specifically which CES is so high-pressure that they require students to announce their MAP scores to the class. [/quote]

Yes, this was not at all our experience at Drew.  Supportive environment, teachers, and kids, and my anxious kid was more comfortable there than at home school.  My kid hadn't really "clicked" with many other students at home school, but had a good social group at Drew and now is at a magnet middle with several Drew friends. [/quote]
