I checked Duke based on his ITBS he would qualify for the science part.
I never believed those test results...especially since there was such a WIDE gap in the math from 3rd to 4th grade
In fact my email to the teacher was just that. I quoted his scores entering the school then his 4th grade scores 40% lower???
I told her that was THE SCHOOLS report card not my son's...LOL
I have never questioned or demanded. In our case it will backfire because this is a small Catholic school. I could DEMAND it but it will cause "issues" with the egos there.
This school will feed into a very good Catholic HS and that will be very good for them (I want to keep my 10 & 6 y.o together).
I am considering home schooling... My sister home schools and her kids are very smart. My background and education is in Medicine. My sister has a MS in ED. My Dad is a PhD in sciences
but he lives very far. He is totally an advocate for DS. They wrote a book together when DS was 5.
I am not confident in my background to teach him. I cannot understand half the stuff I get informed on in the morning on the way to school. Like this morning I told the kids we are going to NYC for 2 days. I mentioned the statue of liberty and he gave me the composite breakdown of the metal she is made out of. All the colors she had turned throughout the years and what metals mixed togther make what ? Yea I was lost.
This isn't normal right ?
He is different right?
You question yourself on the obvious...
He has a VERY difficult time answering questions down. His answers are not wrong for a 9th grader but is for a 4th grader?
His questions should be FILL in not bubble test.
There are SOOO many tests ...WHY ?
My son would probably think your son is cool too Hannah.
I cannot wait for DS to find that special friend.
He is such a great kid...
