[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My guess is that your increasingly unsavory description of the other girl and her behavior toward your DD is your way to capture sympathy for yourself and your DD. And to distract from the unreasonable wish list you have for your daughter's individualized school year.[/quote]

Why is it unreasonable to expect for children to work on their individual needs?

I sent DD to school and purposely wasn't involved because I don't want to helicopter parent.  But she started telling me more about school and I started to pay attention I've become very disappointed.

I'm not looking for your sympathy. I'm just venting.[/quote]

A teacher cannot possibly individualize the curriculum and the classroom experience to highlight and nurture the individual quirks and gifts of each child. A Kindergarten teacher's job is to get a large number of children at varying ability levels ready for first grade. The beginning of the year is especially tricky because she must assess where each child is re: numbers, letters, reading, *social skills. She is likely dealing with a number of children who have never been in a formal classroom or been in class all day long.

Is DD your only child?
