She can't be a 3C

[Cinammonandcaramel]

I've Just had a thread where you kind teachers thought DDs written work looked about 2c

School are claiming she's a 3c in reading (don't know what they're saying for writing)

I don't believe them.

She has a reading age of 7.10.
Her IEP target is to read stage 9 books with support.
She did a SATs paper at home with me and got a 2b.

She needs help with barrington stoke books which have a Reading age of 8

So is there any way she actually could be a 3c?

Cinomenandcaramel I wouldn't tick the boxes if the child had not achieved the targets.

The school will be up sh#t creek without a paddle when she doesn't get the levels in year 6 - OFSTED will have a field day...

After drinking thinking on it I've decided it doesn't matter to me if school are inflating her level. All it does it put more pressure on them to get her to a level 4 in SATs. Which is what I want anyway.

I know she's not a level 3. Not in reading. Or in reading comprehension. Or in writing.

But what do I care if they lie? The SATs reading test is externally marked so they won't be able to cheat there....

In the mean time they're going to have to do a lot of work with her to keep up their lies.

Oh, yeah, and ofsted are due next year. Not sure how they'd notice the discrepancy between her ability and levels. But if they did I wouldn't mind
