[quote=Anonymous][quote]DS is in 2nd grade and got 2 ES on his report card. One for writing opinion and one for math. He also got an I for some writing and for something else. I was told that ES questions are at the bottom of every test worksheet. If a child gets them right (this is for math) on all tests he would get an ES.[/quote]

Wow, this sounds fair and great. At our school in second grade both the teacher and the principal have said there is no opportunity to get an ES math. I quote "ES is not available in every subject. For example, in math, a child can not earn an ES" in public meetings. In second grade at our school, the kids never get a challenge or ES question at the bottom of worksheets. They also don't get math tests. The teacher prefer to observe how they do math problems in class playing a game or doing something with manipulative resources. We're been told that Curriculum 2.0 did away with unit tests so there is no longer any written documentation of what the child was scored doing beyond a teacher's notes. You can ask a teacher to share her observations but you don't have access to these notations.

DS has told me that if you finish math work early, which most kids do, he is instructed to work on his reading or writing assignments independently. [/quote]
