[quote=Anonymous][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]

I think you can look up ways to help her with her writing.  For perspective, my 5th grader struggles with periods and commas, and writing in general.  Really.  He is also in AAP.   [/quote]
