[quote=Anonymous]Hi, This is OP and the teacher did mention that it happened occasionally during the November conference but told us she was writing us the email because she was completing fewer and fewer assignments recently. When we asked DD she told she wanted to go play and so she just scribbled anything down and handed the worksheets in to a giant box. I'm not sure all K classes are set up like this but apparently after you finish your work you can choose a center. We don't get all of the work sent home but from the stuff we do get we noticed she tends to skip the worksheets that say things like color all the "V"s purple and the "U"s green. These are really simple sheets like that that are time consuming but not really fun from her perspective.

We have tried explaining to her that she has to complete her work and that that's her job but she just laughs in a nice way and nods and says she'll do better but then doesn't do the work at school. The class is very large and the teacher doesn't really check the work while the kids are doing it but after school and by that time, from what I can tell, DD has already spent most of her school day playing cards with her friends or reading books or whatever. The teacher did not say what, if anything, she was doing to encourage DD to do her work. Would it be okay for me to ask that or would it sound too defensive? I don't mean it in a defensive way. Or would it be okay if I asked her to please remind DD when she is walking around that she needs to do all her work and not just scribble anything so that she can pretend she has done her work?

[quote=Anonymous]OP -- did the teacher mention this as a concern in parent/teacher conference?   This seems really odd.  [/quote][/quote]
