In grade 10 we read The Great Gatsby for class. Does this mean that she can read that book and understand a good number of the nuisances of it?

You're a nuisance, I'm nuanced.

What age is grade 10?

What age is grade 10?

And John Stuart Mills read all kinds of Greek stuff (Herodotus, Plato) at the age of 8.. (random fact that popped up in my head).

sorry man but you're full of shit ...

I'd be full of shit if I tried to satisfy every asshole's narrow minded viewpoint of how a 4th grader could possibly compare to a 10th grader. Those are the results. You can either take it or leave it.... just keep your asshole comments in your asshole & not dripping out of your pie hole. :thumbsup:

She is reading some pretty big books for her age. There are times when she'd read over something and not really know what it's saying. This is because of her age. She's yet to be introduced to human sexuality. -_-

sorry man but you're full of shit .. in 10th grade we had to read books and not only understand them, but find all that symbolism/irony/imagery shit in them. then write essays about them. i'm sorry but a 4th grader can't do it, i don't give a shit what kind of child genius she is, she won't recognize imagery when she sees it. also, i don't think i can add/subtract fractions without a calculator anymore.. same with divisions that arent memorized, i can't do them on paper, just forgot how.. too much weed i guess

Or it is based on the assumption that while the grade 9 curriculum should probably be years beyond algebra, most students in grade 9 are still too dumb to do it?

I think you're exactly right.
She has science courses too, i don't know why any of that wasn't on the test. She does well in that area too.

As well, it says she's at the grade 10 level for verbal. In grade 10 we read The Great Gatsby for class. Does this mean that she can read that book and understand a good number of the nuisances of it?

For math, she got as far as adding & subtracting fractions. She'll be starting algerbra next.

I don't understand... your report says that she's equivalent of a grade 9 level... yet she is only doing fractions? How the hell do these standardized tests work anyway.

Would hate to be your Kid. I'd run away with a laptop at like 12.

I had 99's across the board all through my public school career, but i still do drugs

I really do have a lot of respect for you... I think you're one of the most brilliant posters on this forum... if not The Most <3

I enjoy your posts almost as much as i like good music

We're not a church going family. Other than occasionally adding my 2 cents, she has a course from the Academy called Studying God's Word, but it's a small part of her total studies.
We live like a block away from a very popular Park District where she gets plenty of social contact playing with the kids there.

we home school our daughter.

That is so cruel man, social skills get you farther in life than anything else... and sitting at home with mommy and daddy doesn't develop social skills. I hope when middle/high school starts you send her to school, or when it's time for college, she will be so unbelievably lost it will be sad.

its the 4th grade for cryin out loud. 1+1=2

[Scoop]

there are a few people at my old school that were supposedly geniuses at home school. But when they got to high school they sucked ass.

[Aquatiq]

Where does she rank in "Obscene Knock Knock Jokes"?

As some of you may know, we home school our daughter.
We just recently received the results of her 4th grade finals... and my jaw hit the floor.

According to the California Achievement Test (which supposedly has the highest standards in the country... ) her scores were:

Reading:
Vocabulary - Score=40 / grade equivalent: 10.7 / percentile = 99
Comprehension - 40 / 11.5 / 99
Math:
Computation - 62 / 8.8 / 99
Concepts & problems: - 38 /9.6 / 99
Language:
Mechanics: - 62 / 9.2 / 94
Usage & Structure: - 29 / 9.6 /94
Spelling: - 30 / 11 / 99

... As you can see, I'm shocked, amazed & proud. Her reading & language are at a high school level & she's in the top percent of kids her age. :wub:

Homeschooling is depriving your kid of all the non-academic related things you learn in school. Anyways, none of my business.... grats on having a smart kid, to bad you brainwash her with your Religion.:fear:
