how do i found out if my son will go to the fourth grade.he failed the math part of the 3rd grade test?

Answer 1

You might want to think about studying some grammar...

Answer 2

I dont think the test is that much of a deciding factor in his passing or failing of the grade. Tests are usually only a very small percentage. More important is his performance throughout the year. And yeah in elementary school... don't they give grades differently, like S's and O's instead of abc or d? Passing or failing the grade is dependent upon total performance. To fail in one area will simply mean that he will be put in a lower level for math next year. (Kids are given different levels of english and math based on their ability and each year they can be raised up, kept the same or lowered down in level of intensity). Everything will be fine. No school wants to hold a child back. They would first offer extra courses of action that can be taken to keep him in his grade. You should take some time to go over his math ability in a non-pressuring enviroment. Just challenge his ability and try to help out where he is lacking. Figure out if he is a visual, tactual or auditory learner by testing him "secretly" and use what works to give him tools that can help him succeed.

Answer 3

People on here are so stupid. So what if this persons grammer is not to your expectations. This person here asking this question, about their son, is not asking you folks to reply in such a manner so uncool.
What you need to do is contact the school officials.
If your son ONLY failed the math, he can and will pass, but he will have to take this test again.
3rd. graders take algebra these days folks. No more adding and subtracting, thats so kindergarten, and first grade.
Funny how this one test will hold a child back. This is so obnoxious, why send the child to school for another 9 years, only to learn a few more things, when he/ or she has taken this proficeincy test?

Answer 4

If your state is anything like mine..Virginia...we have SOL testing here. If a student does not pass one subject, they can pass the grade, but they may have to take a special class the following year to bring that subject up.

If a child fails two or more subjects, then he fails and repeats the grade.

Best thing to do is contact the school and find out. And stay on him to study!!!

Answer 5

We had parent teacher conferences at the end of the school year and the teacher told us then what class he would be in. Maybe in your school they will tell you when you go enroll him in the new school year. I can't imagine that they would hold him back for one class. They will probably get him some extra help if he is still having trouble with it this year. You can help him out in the summer by getting some flash cards for him to study. That way he won't forget what he learned last year and will have a head start on the new year.

Answer 6

Failed 3rd grade math? That's like addition and subtraction, right? Lord help you.

Answer 7

How much attention do u pay to ur kid? none at all? how did u let him fail THIRD GRADE math? My mom used to sit and help me study everyday when i had trouble with anything in elementary school!

Answer 8

You should have found this out when he recieved his final report card last year. It tells you on the back if he is going on to the fourth grade.

Answer 9

Didn't he receive a report card at the end of the school year? It always tells you on the card if you passed or failed.

I would also think the school would have contacted you regarding this. This should not be ignored.

Answer 10

Don't worry, I have been failing math all three years of junior high. And passed to my next grade. Don't you think its a LITTLE too late to start worrying about it? Since we are going BACK!!

Answer 11

Contact his school of course. And honestly, get more involved in his education, help him with his homework, make sure he knows how important it all is! It's not only his teachers who shape his future, but his parents play a pivital role!!!
