I read this on MN a lot, posters stating that their DC are very bright and are "top of their class" and it's always confused me. British schools don't have such a system in place, surely? And certainly not one that is publicly shared with parents.
Are there actually primary schools around that routinely rank their pupils in terms of academic performance and then inform them of their position in this?
I'm sure the teachers have a very clear understanding of their pupils' relative strengths (academic and otherwise) but this isn't something that they tell parents about is it? Obviously they report to parents about their own child's progress, but would it not be hugely unprofessional to discuss that in terms of how this relates to their peers?
