DD1's one strong subject has always been maths - she struggles with English and all literary based subjects but maths since very young she has always been in set 1/top of the class in most schools she has moved to.
This year she was moved to set 2, the teacher said this was because in one of her assessments she didn't do as well, which was fine by me. DD1 worked hard and got 88 per cent in her end of year assessment which thy marked as borderline 8/9.
Today she came home really upset as she was told that she is NOT moving to set 1. Apparently set 1 had a "not great teacher" so even though some children got 70% or below they are staying put. I would rather the whole set thing was scrapped than her not understanding why she is being kept down in her one strong subject.
Seems terribly unfair to me! I have written to the teacher, but I know I will get fobbed off, so just venting.....I really hate this system!!!
