[quote=Anonymous][quote]I totally agree with the prior poster. Teachers have enough on their plates without having to justify which grouping your little snowflake is falling into at the moment. These groupings are fluid and exist so that the teacher can differentiate without the interference or second-guessing of PITA parents. Just. Back. Off.[/quote] In 2nd grade our daughter who really loves reading was placed in the lowest reading group in her class with marginal students one of whom could not read at all. We sent the teacher a polite email describing the books that our daughter read during the summer, etc. and asked the teacher to re-evaluate our daughter’s reading abilities. The teacher agreed to retest and ended up moving our daughter to an accelerated reading group. No histrionics or tiger mom whips and chains, just one polite email and our daughter went from bored and frustrated to happy and enjoying school again.[/quote]
