My son came home form school last Friday said his social studies teacher gave the class a test, but when he handed my son his test he told him to do only 1 essay question and some of the multiple choice answers were crossed out-My son said he saw that his test was different than the other kids in his class, he said he felt bad-and wondered why it was. My older son who graduated a few years ago said that some of the teachers give the slower kids these kinds of tests to help them along, well of course I got kind of miffed about it, because my son is a Straight A student and there is no reason that any teacher should think he was slow-I contacted the teacher and he said that he had made a mistake and had given my son a modified version of the test, and that he knew he did not need it-that he could keep the test score he got or take the normal version-it was his mistake. Anyways when I told my son this, he said that it wasn't a mistake when he gave him the test-he knew what he was doing-plus a few weeks ago he had given him a map with all the states on it and capitols and told him he could use it on the test-my son didn't, but honestly i have never heard of this before, and like I said I am kind of confused as to why this guy would think my son was slow, in need of extra help-I made it clear to him that from now on, he is to take all the normal tests and do all the normal homework just like all the other kids-I was nice about it, but if it continues I won't hesitate to forward all the correspondence to a person higher up. I want to believe the teacher that he just made a simple mistake but it sounds fishy to me-what do you all think?
