Year 2 KS1 sats

[cheeseandvino]

So was at a kid's party and the other parents all said they asked what their child's test result was.

Is this the norm?

Should I be asking for the test result?

Are you meant to ask at the parent teacher meeting?

Would the teacher think I was being silly?

I have played down sats as has the teachers but I know of so many people who ask.

If all your dc's friends' parents asked the teacher, I'm sure she/he won't think you are silly.

Hi these parents were at a different school.

So not the same school that my child goes to.

Also my impression is that they were very involved with the process i.e. Some had their children do practice tests during the Easter holidays.

At the school my child goes to I don't think that would be the normal type of approach -!well that is my sense.

And my child does lots of activities like sport and music and just having fun - so there is no way I have been doing extra homework - I don't even do guided reading - now feeling a bit guilty after meeting these very organised parents and wonder if I have missed a trick.

The 'norm' will vary from school to school, if you are interested in the test results, then ask! Equally, if you don't care then that's fine as well, you will have the teacher assessment results.

One thing though- what do you mean by guided reading? That's normally a way of teaching reading in small groups at school. If you mean that you don't listen to your child read regularly, I would strongly suggest that you try and find some time to do so. I think it's the most important way parents can support their child's education.

Identify the parents in your school who are most likely to go and ask, enquire whether they have asked, leave it a few days so they and their friends have a chance to ask first then swoop in as the tenth parent to enquire and you look almost laid back.
