[quote=Anonymous]DD is not volunteering that there are problems-- we heard from the GC. When we talked to DD, she said a classmate wasn't sharing, or taking turns and that the spelling is too hard and boring.

DD has always had a hard time adjusting to new school years, and gotten upset, particularly about homework she thinks is boring or cuts into play time, and we have always had to work hard to get her into a stable, predictable routine after a summer off.  Also, doesn't help that she is very stubborn.  DD had a tough time with her temper in pre-school, and with her K teacher, but the teacher was very pregnant and didn't like girls (who knows why...). K teacher was only around for six weeks, and was having problems with most of the kids.  For the rest of K, and for 1 & 2, we haven't heard about any behavioral issues. In fact, DD is very friendly &outgoing, and seems to be a favorite of many of the faculty.

I don't know if her class is too large (at 30+), or the sub isn't very good, or if she is struggling b/c she is not longer the best in her class w/o working too hard, or if the work is genuinely too much for her, or if something biological is going on and we need professional help.  Having talked to her, I do know that she is strongly against transferring into a general Ed. Classroom.

Any ideas?[/quote]
