[QUOTE="Martie, post: 158891, member: 284"] P, My responses may seem inconsistent between this and your other thread. I do not thinkso, however. Curricum based assessment lets you know if they are teaching to the IEP goals (assuming the goals are academic.) Standard scores allow you to see if the child is gaining or losing relative to peers on a longer term basis. I heartily agree it is easier to lower the bar than teach and that grades are a very soft measure. I would not want "Cs" on Chapter tests. I would want more specific measurement such as X% correct on Chapter tests on average becasue who knows what a "C" is? It is certainly true that my ex-difficult child was into school refusal in middle school. The good news is that after EGBS, it was never a problem again...it's not that he LOVED high school, but at least he went. It took until sophomore year, i.e., last year, for him finally to take ownership of "everything" and start working hard even in classes he did not like. I am pretty happy with Mr No most of the time now, but it is a good thing I didn't know how long it woudl take to feel that way when he was 12. I might not have been able to face that which is why "one day at a time," and "baby steps" are good advice in my opinion. Martie [/QUOTE]
