There's something on this board that has been bothering me, and I hope I can articulate it.

So your bright child isn't stuck doing K or 1st grade level reading when he's ready for 4th grade level reading.
So your bright but learning challenged child isn't forced to read yet when she is not physically capable or ready to read.
One size doesn't fit all.

You didn't have class rank in high school?

Edited to add: I volunteer enough in my ds's classroom that I know where he ranks comparitively to the other children in the classroom. I don't think having this information charted would be the least bit beneficial to me. Actually, I don't think I particularly benefit from knowing where he ranks at all.

But shouldn't the teacher know a child is bright, average, or challenged without comparing the child to another child in the class?
