Disconcerting

The bus came yesterday! WOOOT! Wm said it was weird being on a giant bus with 3 other kids, but otherwise, everything went smoothly. FINALLY.

They are do a robotics project in Math. It sounds super cool! They are building robots that run on a little track. They have to code the robots to know the angle of the turns, how far to go before turning, when to stop, etc. So they are using Math, Engineering, and Coding. Very nice!!

Wm came home with his State of Ohio 4th grade proficiency tests. The scores went: Limited-Basic-Proficient-Accelerated-Advanced and tests Math, Reading, and Social Studies. Wm tested Advanced in all categories. BUT, it also had the state, district, and school averages so you could see where your kid was in relation to others. Wm's school average was Accelerated or Advanced in every category. The state averages were Proficient in every category. But, the district average was always either Limited or Basic. Wm was looking over the results and saw the district averages and goes, "Well....that's disconcerting."
