[quote=Anonymous]OP here.

THANK YOU for the validation!

The person who said "What we do is take a stab at it, get feedback from the teacher if that was not the answer they were looking for. From there we recalibrate to give the teacher the type of answers they want, if that makes any sense"--

Yes, it makes sense! That's where we landed, but it did take some talking my kid down. I could not possibly care less about her grade, I told her sometimes you just have to take a guess and have the teacher explain where you can improve or modify. It just really bugged her that she couldn't understand the questions, or why they were being asked. I think she internalized this as there being something wrong with her (DD). That's a separate issue, and probably the main one here! You can maybe see where she gets it from. :/

To the person telling me I'm overthinking it... yes? Sure?

Again, IDGAF about how or even if she answers these questions. I don't even normally help her at all with her homework, not even to act as a sounding board. But I did want to confirm the problem is not ours. It really helps to know it's not. (And if anyone is rolling their eyes and thinking "OF COURSE it's a problem with Benchmark, and not you"-- I am sometimes quite sincerely unsure. It's probably insecurity based on my ADHD brain. It sometimes can't seem to wrap itself around solutions that seem clear to others. So, I check.)

Unless you meant, "You're overthinking it, the answers to those questions are obvious," in which case, do share with the class.

Even if she doesn't attend the CES, her home school has some sort of "enhanced" literary curriculum in 4th/5th. Will that be better, or is it still Benchmark?[/quote]
