[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think the teacher is gaslighting her. I think the teacher means "you had a hard time staying on task/schedule today." [/quote]

I think the teacher is being passive aggressive about the feedback.  If staying on task is the issue, the say so, not putting words into the kid's mouth about how she is feeling.

OP, I would try to teach her organizational skills.  You don't have to have ADHD have poor organization.  I like Ann Dolin's book on Homework.  Basically third grade is a watershed year.  Kids need to start relying less on the teacher prompts.  However, organization is a skill; it can be taught and reinforced.  I'd start there.[/quote]

This was my thought.  The teacher is saying "you had a hard day" to be punishing.  Pretending to be understanding but basically saying, "you failed at certain things."  Just tell your daughter only she knows what her day was like and ignore the teacher's comments.  Still, it sounds like your daughter has some challenges with attention and organization.  She may need support at home to know she is still a success even if she is a little out of step.[/quote]

This. It boggles my mind why would the teacher insists a child have had a hard day. Thankfully your daughter is not affected by this. I would have been very upset. She may or may not have ADHD. But the way the teacher is reacting is bizarre.
