3B in Year 3 is ok isn't it?

[vestandknickers]

My DD has had a meeting with her teacher today and been told she's a level 3B in both reading and writing and a 3C in numeracy.

They have a traffic light system (green = good, yellow = needs improvement, red = shite!).

Anyway, she got yellow in reading and writing and a red in numeracy and got yellows for effort in all.

I'm bloody livid. She's doing fine isn't she?

She's a bright girl and could possibly do better if she really knuckled down and stopped chatting, but I'm worried that she's been given the impression she's not doing well enough when actually she's doing perfectly ok.

Any comments welcome. Parents evening next week so I need to think about what I want to say.

OP, if she is as bright and sparky as you say she is, the teacher is presumably concerned that the levels don't reflect that. I agree that the traffic light system sounds a bit blunt, but as a parent, it's your job to help your DC understand what it means.

I wouldn't be excessively worried if dd's teacher said that she hadn't gone up a level, as I know that learning sometimes plateaus for a while, but I would be worried if she wasn't applying herself properly.
