[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Was the teacher very concerned?  Is your child's academic progress going okay?[/quote]

Unfortunately, this convo was through email (I don't get to the school much, my husband does dropoff and pickup. I intend on visiting the school within the next week. The way in which the email came off was as if she was implying my child is a bit of troublemaker. Overall, I am happy with her academic progress. She is advance in her reading , her math skills are on level for her grade, and her handwriting has improved. But I'm not sure she has learned anything really new this year yet. The worksheets that have been sent home seem a bit basic, but it's only Nov and I know they haven't gotten into the depth of K, being that the first few months are spent on having your child adjust to K and learning where they are at skill wise.  I told the teacher to please give updates, and I spoke to my child as well. I told myself I would give it another 2 weeks to see if anything improves. If not, I'm going to reach out to the principal or learning resources within the school. As for the person who mentioned Ritalin, I don't want to quickly assume my child has ADHD. I don't know much about the disorder and don't want to give the school anymore trouble then need be to figure out my child. I just learned about this over the weekend, and just wanted people opinions on what helps with getting a child to focus, or should I be concerned that it's more to it (i.e. learning disability, boredom, doesn't like teacher, etc.) My daughter has always been pretty advanced (her PreSchool teacher wanted to recommend she jump straight to K but I opposed it). But she's always been easily distracted at home. This is the first time it's really been an issue at school, and I have no idea what to do. [/quote]
