and the rest of the class had to listen to a 1-hour analogy about bikini swimsuits

from my grade level

how do you stand out in elementary school

state tests?

my teacher announced everyone that got perfect scores

and it was only like 1-2 people usually

i did the best in the class in my state tests

we have SOLs which are 600 point tests, 400 is pass, 500 is "pass advanced" and 600 is perfect

but that means nothing

its elementary school

yeah they don't mean much but that's still a standout difference

The only standout elementary kids are the ones who skip to do uni at age 12

so true

the guy who died did skip a grade

I got 600s in most of them, but I remember in a girl getting 600s in everything all of elementary, then she was standout in middle school too, and she happened to go to the same highschool as me and then ended up as top gpa

I think that's a pretty consistent case of someone being "standout"

Max

I'm the only Virginian here

the SOLs

shit out of lucks

should not be your benchmark for anything

:(

No I don't think they're a great benchmark spooky

but I also think that consistent pattern on someone who's obviously a cut above the rest is proof of something

no?

... I don't really

not the SOLs

the SOLs are so bad

okay what metric do you use then

for elementary schoolers?

it's not simple to get perfect scores on all of them

yea

did you ever do an elementary gifted kid test i still remember it

it was like an iq test

I feel like you can bin kids if you spend 5 minutes talking to them

and ES teachers do that

ES?

they sub-segregate within any class, esp the gifted ones

elementary school

I only got segregated to a desk in the corner once because I'd talk to myself

a good teacher is evaluating the apptitude of kids, and adjusting their 1-on-1 teaching

to better fit their needs

yeah elementary school teachers don't do that

I'm not talking completely reworking their curriculum

Well I never saw it or seen anything like that

seen**

maybe I'm overstating it

but I did experience that

to your question of how to evaluate K-6

I mean I do think that should be a standard

idk a perfect way

realistically we should be full on segregating in elementary school

but the SOLs are a terrible metric

I don't think they're

as bad as you're stating

Maybe I was just around retards

but the same people who "passed advanced" were always not retards

and 600s were rare

I don't recall a single person I ever considered retarded to pass advance, and never did I see someone get a perfect score who I didn't later see become pretty smart

we'd have 1-2 people score below 500 in a class of 20-30

really

Most of the people who make it to university are somewhat retarded

and half the class would get 600s or 59Xs

yes

maybe they changed them

or north Virginia diff

because

100% not like that

the do evolve the tests a bit year-to-year

class of 30 kids two people would get 600s

but idk, they always sucked

maybe 1

oh no, we'd get a pizza party if 10 people got 600s

and we ALWAYS got them

yeay

yeah it was not like that

at all

we are like 10 years apart
