Both of my children are in "talented and gifted " classes and on honor roll but my son had a hard time with the math test. If he missed 1 more question he would have been made to take summer school and retest. I feel its a bunch of bologna and harmful for children. The running joke in my daughters dance class is its not "no child left behind" but really "no child gets ahead". They only pressure the kids to pass the test, if your already there you get ignored till you fall behind out of neglect or boredom. I wish I was capable of homeschooling my kids. |
