[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really encourage parents whose kids are bored or coming home without any wrong answers to push their teachers to give their child more appropriate level work.   At first, I wouldn't request acceleration or re-grouping of classrooms because that will just be resisted.  Instead, just keep pushing for more challenge.  Eventually, after they fail to challenge your kid within the existing grade level curriculum and class room set up, then start pushing for acceleration.  Be a pain in the a**.  The current philosophy to lump kids of different levels into one class and then stick them with a curriculum geared for the middle group is not going to work for some struggling kids and for some top kids.  Policy makers generally ignore special ed and gifted kid parents at public forums.  Another avenue for parents, though, is to just continue speak up at the point where all the policies are implemented: the classroom.  They say grand things about their policies, so press the teachers and the schools to show you something grand.[/quote]

I think you capture the problem dead on.  This is a shame.  I hate that it has to be this way.

I know teachers are busy but do they not see that this is a problem?
