[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At my child's ES, their MAP test scores would show up on the computer as soon as they were finished - so then the kids all talked about and compared their scores. Now in middle school, it's even worse since some of the teachers give a prize for the highest score or call out a child who got a high score. Is anyone else bothered by this?

MAP tests feel different than a class test and I don't see why the kids need to know their scores. [b]The children who didn't score as high feel crummy about themselves [/b][b]and the high scorers who have been doted on by the teacher risk getting blowback from possibly jealous peers.

Does anyone know if it's a county-wide policy that the scores come up automatically or have our ES and MS just done it this way?

Thanks[/quote]
I'm sorry, OP, that your snowflakes aren't as bright as Larlo and Larla at the next table, but this is life. Newsflash: the high scorers aren't getting any blowback from anyone, they didn't cheat on the test and they earned their scores, fair and square.. If you want your children to stop 'feeling crummy about themselves', tell them to study harder. MAP scores will improve, I guarantee![/quote]
