[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did your DD tell you that she is not challenged and bored, or are you inferring that?  The difference between P (38) and R (40) aren't huge, she might be bored and unchallenged in the R group too.  [/quote]
She was given an 80-page chapter book the first day their group met and was asked to read the first few chapters. She took the initiative to finish that day and complained to me that it was too easy and boring. She has been reading chapter books for almost a year in S-T range. Also, we'd hired a reading tutor over the summer who a resource teacher at a nearby school. She assessed her at S. Mostly trying to determine the best way to broach this with the teacher in a thoughtful and collaborative manner.[/quote]

why a tutor over summer?[/quote]
This started when [b]DD's reading teacher was sick for a month last Spring. She was given a Chromebook and didn't have a reading class during that time. Even when the teacher wasn't absent it was common for her to only have a reading group once a week since she was in the highest group. 
[/b]
At that point, we felt a tutor was in her best interests since the school was dropping the ball. It ended up being 8 one hour sessions spread out over the summer. It probably wouldn't have been necessary if the school brought in a substitute when the teacher was absent or ensured every group met twice a week.[/quote]

It is unfortunate when things like this happen. Our kids deserve better.[/quote]
