A friend of mine does - it causes her no end of stress! But ultimately the other posters are right.

honestly, its not a good thing. I don't know to what extent its "bad". But people have an innate ability to know when they are full. You yourself eat more on some days than others, so why screw around with that and force child not to trust his/her body? Its just fuel. Take a much or as little as you need. Helping children grow up familiar with healty food choices and the ability to know when they are full and when they are hungry is the best thing parents can do for them (in the area of eating - not in the whole of life) [ Reply | More

[ - ] I think that dd's daycare teachers are okay but I'm really having problems with the administration. There is construction going on outside and I don't like how they've dealt with it. I've been trained in journalism and pr so I'm the pain in the a-- mom asking lots of questions and never feeling satisfied. It seemed that the daycare manager was threatening me to go elsewhere today more than assuaging my concerns. I was concerned that all the construction workers don't stream into her daycare. She told me that only the foreman does & the rest use a port a pottie. Well, I asked a man going into the daycare (w/o a child) if he was the foreman. He was rude to me when I was asking--again--if his workers come inside. Well, come to find out, when the daycare manager came to talk to me after that (because she was upset I spoke with him and upset I called him rude when he was rude) she says the OWNER and the FOREMAN come into building. Which is not what she told me a week ago. I loathe that my daughter has to go to a place that simply wants to expand her daycare to earn more dollars. My tuition increase is going to build the addition on the place! DD is only nearly 11 months old. Thanks for listening. 4 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

Here are the numbers for LL (PS 77) non-special ed kids (the G&T kids in other words): 56% of 3rd graders scored a 4 in ELA and 82% a 4 in math..........62% of 4th graders scored a 4 in ELA and 94% a 4 in math...............44% of 5th graders scored a 4 in ELA and 96% a 4 in math [ Reply | More

^^^I don't know if you'd find another school with as high a percentage of 4 scorers. Anderson is probably basically the same - higher in some groups, lower in others. [ Reply | More

wow I just looked at Anderson's and was shocked to see for 5th grade only 31% 4s - 12% moved from 4 to 3 since last year. [ Reply | More

the kids change too, but wasn't it all in the papers about how scores went up this year? [ Reply | More

When the papers say that, generally they're talking about the poorly performing schools doing better. What you are talking about - Anderson or LL kids scoring a 4 in ELA - is really neither here nor there. The kids are doing fantastically really. [ Reply | More

But fifth grade scores should be huge focus for Anderson, as most of those kids want a shot at Hunter which uses fifth grade scores to invite kids. [ Reply | More

To qualify for Hunter, a dc needs to score in the top 10% of that year - not a straight score cut-off. So if the test was difficult, it would be difficult for all the 5th graders. [ Reply | More

Those aren't the correct stats for Anderson. [ Reply | More

can you use the number of children tested to tell us how many actually scored a 3? If you have a class of 2 and one gets a 3 and one gets a 4 - then you get 50%. How did it shake down with a class of 56? [ Reply | More

You can just look at the data. What grade and math or ELA? I'll do it for you if you want. [ Reply | More

Its not important - I was just saying % don't mean as much as saying 50 children scored a 4 and 6 children scored a 3. [ Reply | More

These are all "4" scores. No "3" scores in this thread. [ Reply | More

The point of the op is that there were too many 3's and not enough 4's, lol [ Reply | More

Didn't you read all the posts that followed your original post? You're not looking at the G&T only scores. [ Reply | More

Sure I did - but are you looking at another set of numbers at or are you extrapolating based on your knowledge of the number of special eds? Please point me to the right numbers if they exist- my dc is at lab in G&T and lots of 3s in reading regardless of the small number of special ed children. [ Reply | More
