Either there's been some mistake or their standards need some serious 'looking at'!
DS2 is struggling a bit. He's your usual thoroughly pleasant chap, as simple and honest as the day is long, but not about the shift the world's axes academically. He's 10 years 2 months.He was independently assessed 4 weeks ago as having a reading age of just over 8, and a comprehension age of 8 1/2. I am confident these figures are correct. Yet the school gives him a B for both, 'attaining at level'.
No he isn't. He's below what I think any one of us would expect for a Y5 10year old. He can just about manage Jack Stalwart books. He could no more spell the days of the week or months of the year than fly to the moon. He reliably gets that and what, there and where wrong (yes, there are some mild dyslexic tendencies but i can't afford the £400 needed to 'convince' the school so we do what we can).
So do I want a more realistic appraisal of DS's ability or a more realistic measure of 'average?!
