[quote=Anonymous]Schools do GBRSs, I guess now HOPE, for every student at the end of the year. At least, my Teacher friends tell me that. So they do have the comments and thoughts of the First Grade Teachers.

Teachers do work with kids in small groups, which is how they gain insight into kids. It is not all large group work and calling kids who raise their hands. Unless your child is not talking in their small groups and at their table group work or at various points of time in the day when they are working with the Teacher, they are talking to the Teacher. You have no idea what your kid is saying to their Teacher or what your kids Teacher is over hearing. You automatically assume that the Teachers are not able to do their jobs and question their judgement on everything, unless the form comes back saying your kid is the next Einstein/MLK rolled in one.

There are areas on the HOPE scale that he wouldn’t have scored great and that is fine. They are in second grade. They are not all MIT/Harvard/Yale/Cal Tech bound who are going to win the Noble Peace Prize. Most kids have areas that they are strong in and areas they are average in and areas that they are weak in but you all have this unrealistic expectation that your kid should score high in everything.
