[quote=Anonymous]The HOPE score that doesn't match your child is, unfortunately, not a rarity in this process. Last year my kid got almost exclusively "Rarely" on hers, and this year she got almost exclusively "Always". My kid didn't somehow become an entirely different person. She just got a teacher who actually liked her and payed attention to her.

She's never had disciplinary issues in class, though she does have ADHD (inattentive type, so it looks like daydreaming when she's bored...which is often, as she's bright enough to catch on quickly to new things). But according to her 2nd grade teacher, she's a just a ditsy little daydreamer who rarely cares about anything and isn't worth a second glance. And according to her 3rd grade teacher, she's an extremely creative, gifted kid who needs a lot more than the gen-ed curriculum can offer in order to challenge her. Again, my kid didn't magically change personalities the summer between 2nd and 3rd grade. It's all down to a teacher who takes a moment to notice your child and see them for who they really are.

Sucks, but them's the breaks for some of us. DD is in for next year, at least. So there's that.[/quote]
