Happy Parent/Teacher conference

What difference a year (and a teacher) makes I cried this morning - after hearing the results of DD's NECAP tests (J is an 8 yr old FAS kiddo but thus far showing only slight signs). In second grade, her teacher reported she had comprehension issues and was struggling at maintaining math basics. I was ready for the worst (although he comprehension assessment didn't fit with what i was seeing at home) This year - teacher says she top of the class in reading, comprehension, and spelling. Above average in writing. And, while her NECAP test showed her in the 40th percentile for Math, those scores were much lower than she would have expected given what SHE sees in the classroom. She sees J solidly in the middle re: math crap, I'm tearing up just writing that. I never thought i'd be over joyed to hear my kid is average. :arrow: I know we have a long way to go but I'm so excited i just had to share
