[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What was the story about the low testing proficiency among fifth graders by the way? Numbers are dismal!!! [/quote]

It was from a letter principal sent out to the community on 6/13.[/quote]

No I mean what was the story they spun about the low scores? Any explanation?  The letter was bragging about high scores but that grade had horrible numbers. [/quote]

We have no idea. Wondering if we can get the data from the past years to compare. [/quote]

Bad parenting - refusal to reign in video gaming and cell phone use, poor diet, too much take out, not checking homework.  [/quote]

I'm not sure if that's accurate. My son has consistently scored in the 99th percentile in math since kindergarten. He doesn't play video games, doesn't have a cell phone or an iPad, we eat healthy home-cooked meals, and I always check his homework. However, he scored 2 out of 5 on a math assessment last winter. We weren’t aware of this until six months later when we received the gifted and talented letter. I'm really confused. Shouldn't the teacher/school have informed me if his math is really that bad, so I can help him?[/quote]
