[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it ok to be disappointed if your kid only hit high 4s?[/quote]

No. Your kid  has mastered everything well for their grade. 5s are meant to be rare and denote having mastered above grade content. [/quote]

The 4 is the score that matters -- it is set at a level that shows the child has mastered the material for the grade, or not. Among the students passing the 4 threshold, 5s are set by an arbitrary cut off to capture the top micro percentage of kids' scores on that test at that sitting. It's the extra "gold star" given to top students, but all 4s "got an A."[/quote]

I wouldn't be disappointed in them, but you should be ashamed of your parenting for letting them down. If they are not getting 5s, then they are not getting into an Ivy (never mind a good Ivy). As we all know if they don't get into a good Ivy, then they are going to be living in your basement for the rest of their lives. Even worse, they are going to be a leech on the system and require my high performing kids to support them.[/quote]
