There was probably a lot of talking along with the slides. This school doesn't do ability based tracking except the "walk to maths thing". I have been looking forward to that because even his teacher who doesn't really believe his test results mean anything admits he needs extension.

While being exposed to kids with a range of abilities may be good for some kids my son is 2 points short of 4 standard deviations above the mean and has to be asked to give others a turn to answer (how long before he stops answering questions?)

oh well, time will tell.
