I was stunned that they were doing this with scores, too. I wouldn't have even believed it had we not had the most jaw-dropping experiences ourselves.

My son's teacher has a pretty bad reputation. I heard horror stories before school started. There is no ability grouping, even though she has a gifted cluster, and there's no differentiation-that I can tell anyway. She never sends home any graded work/tests and I have no clue what's going on in the classroom.

We've had such difficult battles with the school this year over 504/IEP stuff that I haven't pushed the teacher about what's going on in the classroom. Now I see these MAP scores and I'm getting a little concerned.
