So, we got the results of a reading readiness test that the school district gives kindergarteners at the beginning and end of kindergarten. The test assesses things like whether the kids can recognize certain letter sounds, read certain words, recognize rhymes, sounds, know the alphabet, simple spelling, etc.
The benchmark score -- i.e., the expectation for kindergarten -- is a score of 28. The highest possible score is 102.
Rachel scored a 95.
This explains an exchange that happened at recess last week. Rachel noticed, in her words, that one of the 2nd grade girls was "excluding" another little girl. "You're being disrespectful," she scolded the 2nd grader.
"What's 'disrespectful' mean?" the girl asked.
See my point?
