[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our Kindergarten teacher showed us bar charts to show exactly where our child stood in relation to the whole class![/quote] Lot to process here, but this really stands out as misguided if it's taken the wrong way There's an ENORMOUS range of normal development around this age, and it would be dead wrong to convey that a child on a normal development curve is somehow deficient in relation to peers, each of whom is on their own development path. It's one thing to share this information if it's like a child's growth chart but entirely questionable as a competitive measure. I'd want to know that my child is meeting age appropriate goals and where specific supports or even intervention are necessary. None of that has anything to do with where the peer cohort stands. There is no prize for winning Kindergarten.[/quote]
