[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh my. My third grader, who has always scored in the "spring expected window" or beyond on the fall test (he's also in Level III, though I know that doesn't mean much), only got a 61% in math and a <b>27%</b> in Reading!!!

Yikes. I didn't think he'd slipped that much. Maybe he's just not used to taking that sort of long test in school with all the distractions anymore? He's getting perfect scores on all his classroom comprehension tests.

When I talked to his teacher, she said he wouldn't be flagged even with the 27% because the principal came around this year and asked the teachers who among the bad scores they thought actually needed remediation. She wasn't concerned about him.

A better question, though, is are you concerned? Do you think he needs remediation? It seems like at least some schools are so overwhelmed that they are looking for reasons not to help kids. I know teachers are exhausted. I know staff is hard to hire. But FCPS has almost $200,000,000 over the next few years to bring kids up to speed, and they need to use it wisely. That means helping kids who need help.[/quote]
