In her second quarter report card, she had a few O's (science is one of them) and mostly Gs, but she also had a couple of Ss. Any ideas on whether this is considered good performance or not?
She has always been very smart (quick to grasp new concepts) and we expected a strong NNAT score. But, she is a September kid (the youngest in her class) so she lacks focus. Do you think that strong test scores and a combination of Os and Gs in her final grades (1st grade) should get her to AP?
Thanks!
Mine is an august kid, so also the youngest. He always had this problem with things that are not interesting to him. I observed him when trying some extra classes. He comes in, gets into answering questions, but after 15-20 minutes loses interest and will not do well on a similar assignment at that point. So, I started worrying that maybe I am doing him disservice by doing advanced math at home (using additinal non-school books). I cut down on it this year, but we finished 1st grade math book before he went to 1st grade. I just think that he is too tired of 3+2, 2+1 kind of math.
