[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was a classroom teacher for 3rd - 5th grades for nine years.  All of which we gave MAP tests and the score was always on the last screen.  I never had kids staring at each other's screens at the end.  The only time a kid would be upset was if his/her score went down from the last assessment. [/quote]

A good teacher used MAP score to motivate students to do better.    Three years ago, DC's 5th grade teacher talked to the class about MAP and mentioned  that her previous year classes' highest score of MAP-M was high 270s.   At that time DC's best score was at 260s.  DC was determined to break that mark, but did not make it for the Fall, and Winter.   I still remember that day when DC went to school in the morning and said to me "today is my last chance to break that mark",  and DC finally made it.   DC's got high 290s.

I saw some posts claiming Asian parents sending kids to prep classes (such as Dr. Li).  I don't think that is typical and certainly not the reason that Asian kids score high for testing.  We never send our kids to  any "paid prep classes", but we do borrow a lot books from MCPL, and my DC is very good at finding resource on line (such as Khan, Brilliant, AOPS etc).

That high MAP-M score meant very little to DC's long journey of learning, but gave him the confidence of learning math and more importantly developed a good work ethic (to be prepared!).     [/quote]

Pretty sure your kids final score is completely irrelevant here but thanks for sharing it[/quote]
