[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the question is whether the teacher/school is doing this to make it easier for themselves or if they are truly concerned that putting her in higher math will affect your DD negatively.

What do you think, OP?

17:35 just gave me another perspective to think about and what she/he wrote makes sense. I don't know what to think. Yes, it might make things easier for the teacher, but it's hard for me to know if it's better for DD. They are reviewing now, so probably most kids aren't that challenged yet. I guess time will tell. I keep thinking about something I read by Temple Grandin about people seeing the HFA label and lowering expectations so I guess it made me hypersensitive to this topic. The thing is, it's just the first month of school and I am told the group make-up is always different by mid and end of year so I guess they are just figuring things out. I also think in this area, the land where everyone has an abnormally high IQ, there are probably plenty of kids good at math and maybe there isn't a huge difference between the groups so she may not be missing out on that much extra challenge?[/quote]
