Bug-House, you ain't the only one! I have been fighting the school with my 2nd child, and my 3rd is languishing. Last year in second grade, she scored 2 points below - TWO POINTS BELOW - the NWEA level for math. Her teacher bugged and bugged the gifted program. DD taught math to her class all year.
Well, how are you supposed to test on harder math that you haven't been taught? Of course she didn't test there this year either.
We were looking at the "Colorado Growth Model" scoring for our district. Her school is at the 13th percentile for Colorado schools helping girls to move ahead in their math scores.
DD's new teacher told us they will challenge her during "math RTI" time. Thursday I picked her up during this time - it's the last 1/2 hour of the day - and they were cleaning out their desks. I asked her what they did for the last 1/2 hour on Friday, and she said they had an extra recess.
