Wow!
I'm sorry you have so many people who don't believe your student scored this high. It is not unreasonable. I currently have a first grader whose reading level tested at 12th grade and her...

VERY Disruptive children

I have an amazing principal
and she handled our tantrum thrower last year. I think if a child screams so loudly that three or four classes down the hall can hear her, it makes sense to remove her from the room. We are very...

You're not pushing too hard. The parents pay for their children to get a good education, not to cater to the lowest achieving child in the class. Hopefully it'll blow over. I had the same thing...
