DD9 has been pulled out for science enrichment and has been loving the enrichment math she is getting in addition to the regular 4th grade math. She was given a pre-test on the unit of geometry they did this month. They were all given a pre-test. The teacher looks at the pre-tests and figures out what each child needs to work on and gives them the same exact test, a month later, as a post test. She shows the kids the pre-test and post test results at the same time. I guess to show them how much they learned.
Well, DD9 got one wrong on the pre-test...she got 3 wrong on the post test...She didn't do 2 of them cause...well, I guess she said she didn't see them...
Anyway. The teacher DID warn me that the bright students often do worse on the post test than the pre-test...
This doesn't make sense...right?
ps...the "enrichment" was 5 kids leaving math, all from her class of 19 to work with levers...she did like it though.
