[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who is asking your child questions like, "Why is a dollar bill a rectangular prism and not a rectangle?"[/quote]

The question and answer are not difficult whatsoever as long as the child has been taught what the difference between the two are.  My child learned about monocles from a book we read.  Would he appear to be an expert in eye ware or just someone who learned something that maybe others didn't?  (FWIW, learning about rectangular prisms is completely age appropriate in second grade.)  [b]You would only raise this to try to make a point to the teacher,[/b] otherwise asking the teacher how to correct a child from answering a question without restating part of the question in the answer is akin to asking a teacher how to stop your child from saying, "like" all the time or how to get your child to say, "please" more.  Has zero to do with the teacher, AND YOU KNOW IT.[/quote]

I don't understand the part in bold? The OP said she didn't want to raise it, so why are you saying he/she would raise it to make some point? What point would that be?? This makes no sense.

OP. Take a breath. You can't control GBRS and I doubt asking any questions of the teacher would change a teacher's GBRS. If you have a question or concern ask. It's elementary school, not college. Now is the time to correct/grasp any concerns you have. What your child does is normal for 2nd grade - starting with "because" and I'm sure the teacher would tell you this. I don't agree that people on here should tell you what is and is not a teacher Q., let the teacher do that. My gut says, she would tell you this is normal. But if you're not sure, ask, GBRS be damned. [/quote]
