[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The trick to acing the HOPE is... *checks notes*... having your student consistently display in the classroom those behaviors which the HOPE scale measures (and excelling beyond grade level in the named content areas).[/quote]

If a 2nd grader "Is sensitive to larger or deeper issues of human concern", that's horrible. Being hypocritical at such young age? [/quote]

My child read an age appropriate book about Sacagawea in first or second grade. He told me that it was sad that the name that we all knew was not her real name but know one knew what her name was before she was taken from her family. That is an example of being sensitive to a larger or deeper issue while being age appropriate. He read a book about a historical figure and understood the importance of her name being changed and what it meant that we did not know her original name. The book was part of the ordinary people who changed the world series.

Second graders can see things happening in the world around them and show empathy. They can step up if a kid is calling another kid a name and say “that is not nice.” They can learn about people who struggled in social studies and understand their struggles and empathize with that.

They are not expecting a second grader to understand the conflict in the Ukraine or in Israel. [/quote]

Other examples that may or may not manifest in the classroom: some kids are somewhat sensitive to environmental issues and will at least voice concern about wasting water, garbage in the ocean hurting the sea turtles, etc.  Also in class they are partnered with other students for math sometimes.   My DS said something to me about understanding that regrouping can be tough when you are first learning it.  Again, this may not have been evident in front of his teacher, but he is obviously emphatic about things not coming easily to everyone and remembers having to master it himself (which I think is also important since it shows his persistence).[/quote]
