A good teacher used MAP score to motivate students to do better. Three years ago, DC's 5th grade teacher talked to the class about MAP and mentioned that her previous year classes' highest score of MAP-M was high 270s. At that time DC's best score was at 260s. DC was determined to break that mark, but did not make it for the Fall, and Winter. I still remember that day when DC went to school in the morning and said to me "today is my last chance to break that mark", and DC finally made it. DC's got high 290s.
I saw some posts claiming Asian parents sending kids to prep classes (such as Dr. Li). I don't think that is typical and certainly not the reason that Asian kids score high for testing. We never send our kids to any "paid prep classes", but we do borrow a lot books from MCPL, and my DC is very good at finding resource on line (such as Khan, Brilliant, AOPS etc).
That high MAP-M score meant very little to DC's long journey of learning, but gave him the confidence of learning math and more importantly developed a good work ethic (to be prepared!).
Yuck. A good teacher hates MAP testing and doesn’t motivate or belittle kids about it. And way to throw your kids score in it and how you made it your quarter long goal. Wow
You are so dumb -- sorry for your kids !

Teachers are oblivious if they don’t think they see or talk about it.
They know. They hate it. Their hands are tied.

sorry that "final score" makes you uncomfortable. it was not final score -- MAP is not done until high school.
The whole story is about sharing MAP score. We were grateful to the teacher who shared her previous students map score to motivate our kid to do better in testing. That is the point !

Pretty sure your kids final score is completely irrelevant here but thanks for sharing it

It's okay. I received a paper yesterday with the MAP score of another child with the same first name. So I guess another parent has mine. Nice, huh?
FFS. People make mistakes. Teachers are overworked and overwhelmed. The poor teacher made a mistake. Just fold it up and put it back in your kids' folder. Pretend you didn't see it. NBD
Oh get the F out of here. This is a huge issue. I am so sick of the teachers are overworked and overwhelmed. I am a nurse and I am overworked and overwhelmed. Would you like me to give you the wrong medication? Would you like the police to arrest you instead of someone else? Would you like a banker to give your money to someone else? Would you like it if a college gave your child the acceptance and it was meant for someone else.
This is a major issue of privacy and it is a huge mistake. And I don't care if it is "just" an 8 year old. This is all the reason these scores should only be available online.
They don’t make everything available only online because not everyone has access to the internet at home. Not all parents can afford a fancy iMac, like yours. Get out of your white privilege bubble and recognize that you getting another kid’s score is really not a big deal AT ALL.
Not the PP but I disagree. I too think it is a big deal. I would absolutely report it. My daughter received a pink slip from her teacher. It was another student. Not her. It had detailed info and led to me going to the counselor about how this is not the way to send home info. My older daughter received an email from a high school counselor that was supposed to go to another faculty member with the same full name (common name) and again, detailed info including this other student’s psychologist and her diagnosis. Very disturbing. I also reported that. Sending info home that is another student is careless and is a huge issue.
And everyone has a phone. Everyone. Not one person doesn’t have an email on family contact lists and library computers are free to use all of the time.
And I love your assumption that PP is white and has a fancy computer. She is a nurse. She makes a teacher’s salary you moron.

Hey at least your school sends home the scores. Ours never has.
Scores are available at parent portal, document section. It went all the way back several years.
But you can’t access it on your phone. Not very convenient.
