if that's "book smart" that's a fine label
but I really don't think it's meaningful
because for me anyways, elementary school there were a few, then I was in a special program in middle school full of only "gifted", then in highschool I went to a speciality program for technology where everyone was suppoused to be the cream of the crop at the school.
and out of those people always there was always like the general mass of people, and maybe one or two people who felt kinda average
but then there was always 2-3 absolute standout people that people joked about being the smartest, all always got 100s or perfect grades etc.
When I was in elementary school I would always be done the math the teacher was explaining before she explained it so people wanted to be in my group for the group math activities
I always remember ES fractions
because me and one other smart kid, just understood it
Replying to taxes #tzfi because for me anyways, elementary school there were a few, then I was in a special program in middle school full of only "gifted", then in highschool I went to a speciality program for technology where everyone was suppoused to be the cream of the crop at the school. and out of those people always there was always like the general mass of people, and maybe one or two people who felt kinda average but then there was always 2-3 absolute standout people that people joked about being the smartest, all always got 100s or perfect grades etc.
one of these standout from my school is also now dead
and the rest of the class had to listen to a 1-hour analogy about bikini swimsuits
The only standout elementary kids are the ones who skip to do uni at age 12

the SOLs
should not be your benchmark for anything
... I don't really
not the SOLs
the SOLs are so bad
for elementary schoolers?
I feel like you can bin kids if you spend 5 minutes talking to them
and ES teachers do that
they sub-segregate within any class, esp the gifted ones
elementary school
a good teacher is evaluating the apptitude of kids, and adjusting their 1-on-1 teaching
to better fit their needs
I'm not talking completely reworking their curriculum
maybe I'm overstating it
but I did experience that
to your question of how to evaluate K-6
idk a perfect way
but the SOLs are a terrible metric
we'd have 1-2 people score below 500 in a class of 20-30
Most of the people who make it to university are somewhat retarded
and half the class would get 600s or 59Xs
