[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Make sure she reads instructions carefully e.g., underline only the first letter, etc. [/quote] One of my kids is in her second year at private lower school and still struggles with this. In public there is a strong tendency to give kids the benefit of the doubt in order to keep grades high (for good reasons like knowing kids come from varying family backgrounds and bad ones like making schools look good). In private they often focus much more on high expectations and teaching kids how to do well with rigorous standards.[/quote]
