[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think OP is mad because the teacher did not make it clear to the volunteer that OP's kid is way ahead of the rest in reading.  Or, at least that is what she thinks.[/quote]

She is mad that:

Kindergarten is about learning to line up, unless you're going to frequently be examining a kindergartener's reading level (which didn't occur to her kid)

Her kindergartener is only formally assessed 2x a year

Too many tests are given to kids

The volunteer parent in the class doesn't get her kid's reading ability

Posters on here don't get that she can assess her kid's reading level better than a trained professional using seasoned techniques and testing methods

She knows her child's comprehension level and doesn't see the need to ask any higher level thinking questions of her kid (to make connections to self, another book, and the world around her, make predictions, state the author's intent, summarize, retell (in order), to determine if she understands what she's read, etc.

Her kid will be bored if not given higher level books though she has refused to answer the direct question about whether the kid has ever said she was actually bored.

To be continued, I'm sure.[/quote]
