[quote=Anonymous]OP-For what it's worth I think you are being perfectly respectful to the teacher by trying to get some attention for your daughter and that any teacher who would begrudge you for it is awful. You are a good mom for noticing this and wanting to get the best education for your child.

I haven't and would not make the choice you did to push the teacher to do something she did not seem to agree with but I also don't know your daughter. There are some children who need to be challenged more than others.

My sister was like that and basically checked out of school in 2nd grade. She was one of those quiet kids in class who always did their work well and never made trouble so no one cared that she got 99.9percent on all the standardized tests for a few grades above hers.

Luckily, the next year her 3rd grade teacher noticed and she ended up skipping a grade and after that she was much happier in school. My parents were not pushy so they never asked for any differentiation and I do wonder what might have happened to my sister if that 3rd grade teacher hadn't advocated for her. Good luck, OP![/quote]
