LOL Of course they do, your kid is not telling you. I know this because my kid tells me nothing but I hear the conversations when driving car pool and he is participating. The kids in the car know the other kids test scores and are openly discussing test scores and who is in what program and who should/should not be in what program. We had a friend tell us that their kid said that they knew what kids would score in the 99th percentile on the IAAT before the kids took the test and listed the names.
You are crazy to think that kids are not having these conversations.
We have reminded our child that he should not be asking other kids how they did and he should not just be saying how he did but if people are discussing their scores and he wants to share he can. There is nothing wrogn with doing well on exams and being good in an area. There is something wrong with bragging or hurting other people by askign them how they did when you know that they probably didn't do well.
