[quote=Anonymous]This is frustrating. I think my child can handle AAP. She has the scores to get in pool, but I don't know what her GBRS will be or what the screening committee will think. That said, as a parent, there are times when I see things I'd like to talk with her teacher about but I don't feel like I can approach her teacher with any thing that will call attention to any deficiency in my child. I fear it will affect the teacher's GBRS rating. This is so twisted, but it's my truth.

My daughter is in 2nd and answering questions like "Why is a dollar bill a rectangular prism and not a rectangle" with an answer like "because it has thickness and while it looks flat, it is not. It's 3D. Not 2D." She does this all the time. I want to talk to the teacher about the fact that she starts all her answers with "because" and doesn't identify the object or pronoun she is speaking about and uses a lot of "it" or "he," if it's a person as opposed to the name. I wonder what I can do to help her other than keep correcting her. I also wonder if this is normal or if she's behind. An ideal response would have been, "A dollar bill is a rectangular prism and not a rectangle because a dollar bill has thickness. A dollar bill may look flat but it is not. It has a 3D shape. It is not 2 dimensional." This is just an example. My point in this post was just to say it sucks that I'm so worried about GBRS that I don't even want to talk to the teacher about concerns I have for my child. I know it's sad. Am I the only one?[/quote]
