Knowing the family doesn't affect what is happening at school.  If your child was so quiet, wouldn't she be one of the more compliant ones?  How is she quiet and then also distracted to the point that you need to work on it.[/quote]

She's compliant.  But she does not actively try to get teacher's attention.

[quote=Anonymous]I seriously doubt she said write a letter S and then they spent 30 minutes writing S's.  Now way this is the whole story.  No. Way.

If you were volunteering, were you helping the kids understand what a setting was?  Sounds like a great lesson - but she probably needs volunteers who will actually help the kids not be there snooping to bolster created issues.[/quote]

Excuse me, I have a right to "snoop" to see what's going on in my DC's class.

Yes, I went to each child and repeated to them what a setting, because they didn't catch the definition.  And yes, they spent 30 minutes on a single worksheet writing S four times and coloring the pictures next to it - a snake, a saw.  Half way through the teacher realized that this not was the task - they were supposed to color the pictures of words that end with "S", not start with "S".  Then they rushed through the setting worksheet, although that one required more time. They were running out of time all the time and the teacher was just trying to get through it all. You know, just to get it over with.

Like I said I expected it, but it still feels very sad that DC is not going to get any individual attention.  The kids in class are all very different, the teacher never asked called out a single one of them to answer.  She just kind of shouted the question out, while doing something else.  Few participated.

You seem to be taking it rather personally.  Perhaps, you're a teacher?[/quote]

Not a teacher but if you think you are so fucking smart, OP, and can do such a better job, why don't you pull your precious snowflake out of school altogether?  You can homeschool her the way you want - because the real issue here is that you are fucking control freak on top of being the most ridiculously irrational poster of all time ever on DCUM.  Congrats on that illustrious award OP - it takes a lot to rise to the top of absurdity here!   :thumbup:[/quote]
