[quote=Anonymous]  Have you ever had a teacher on the one hand tell you your child is very strong in a subject and then report that she doesn't give the same enrichment to your child that she does for the non-SN kids at her level because she doesn't want your child to get frustrated? This happened last year with math and we shrugged it off. Now this year, DD has been kept out of the top math group for now (as reported by the SN teacher) because they want to keep her frustration level low. (DD has HFA and is mainstreamed).

Keep in mind she doesn't throw things and scream when frustrated. She just cries and often she gets herself together without crying and without needing adult help. She is a happy and well-adjusted kid despite all the challenges she has faced.  Also, she doesn't get upset ever in math. I asked. We have been through it a lot in her areas of weakness and she has come so far and her attitude has turned around. Maybe she would be more anxious if she thinks enough of the kids are better at math, but I honestly think she might like it.

I'm going to trust in the process for now. I know groups are fluid and no, I am not THAT parent who thinks my kid is some genius. I don't even think she's twice exceptional, but I do think this is a strength and I don't want expectations lowered because of her SN. I wish the SN person had not told me anything, but whatever.
