Thanks for all the info.  I regret confusing things by even referencing the entire grade level ahead issue.  Kid did not take the K-2 test.  I think it's 2-7? (Teacher decided to use the higher version - I understand there is overlap). I don't think more tests is the answer right now (unless and until she is unhappy or not learning), but there is some useful insight and suggestions on this thread.  It's more a concern for the future, middle school in particular, but perhaps things will even out and she will continue to have excellent teachers.  Happy to hear that there are so many other kids who can do long multiplication/division of numbers in the millions +, multiply fractions, calculate area, probability, percentages, square root, add, subtract and multiply negative numbers etc. at age 7.  Hopefully she'll meet them one day. Thanks.[/quote]

OP, I think you need to own your Tiger Mom parenting style. You keep being very defensive saying you're a laid back person but you really aren't if you actually know your child can do this and you've clearly taught your child these things. You claim not to know how she was tested when you clearly do know not only the name of the test but the version. How you are is not a bad thing. A lot of parents must be envious of you and your child. But it really makes me cringe when you come on here and pretend you are this clueless very chill parent. You definitely aren't. You belong at my DC's school where the parents are all very competitive and there are a number of little DCs just like yours.[/quote]

This.  You are very, very offputting.  The thing is, your child is brighter than the rest.  'enuf said.  [/quote]
