[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First I’ll admit that I didn’t read any responses. Second, this is a textbook case of your DD communicating that she is not being appropriately challenged in her current academic environment. When she says she wonders why it takes everyone else so long, that’s exactly what she means. To her, her processing speed and retention are normal. She is too young to understand that we all have different brains. I recommend you look for ways to accelerate her academically as well as incorporate social emotional learning to help her navigate the social aspect. [/quote]

First you didn’t read anyone’s opinions but know that it’s “textbook” that she’s not being challenged because she finishes first.    We don’t know what she finishes first on or is it by a minute? An hour?   Finishing first tells us nothing about a kid.

Then she said she got the second highest test.  The teacher doesn’t share everyone’s score so it’s probably a lot of little lies.  Maybe she’s insecure.

Then she said “I’m reading Macbeth”, an old story about a serial killer.

Based on what the mother wrote, so vague with no details who knows?  She might be a top student or she may not be.

There’s nothing textbook about this.     The mother needs to talk to the teacher and see what’s up.   [/quote]
