[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  My presumptions about the teacher are correct. She said herself she doesn't listen to kids read because she doesn't have time.  So, of course, she is at best only vaguely aware of their kevels.[/quote]

I'm coming to strongly suspect you are the mother of my child's classmate. TC by any chance? I don't need an answer but if yes, give it a rest, you're making yourself look silly.[/quote]

Not the OP but there are probably about 10,000 moms in exactly the same situation as the OP. Could be anyone. And she doesn't look silly she is frustrated and rightly so. The problem is when you write on [b]here you get a majority of under-achievers [/b]who resent her position and aren't helpful or kind about it.[/quote]

Is that you OP??[/quote]

No I'm the poster whose DD skipped 1st grade and was called a liar for mentioning it.  :roll: [/quote]

I am the PP above who was the very advanced early reader. I suspect this will fall on deaf ears, but think carefully about how invested you are in your child's reading ("underachievers?" You really said that and admit it?). Please, for the sake of your child and coming from somebody who was a lot like your child from your description, just think about it.

Also, I read this whole thread and I didn't see anybody call you a liar, but this hypersensitiveness about any perceived slight to your child's intellectual abilities is something that is very, very familiar to me.[/quote]

you sound insane.[/quote]

I disagree.  The bolded is what is really insane.  I have an "underachiever".  Well actually she is achieving at her ability so no she isn't "under" achieving.  I can emphatically say I do not envy OP.  First of all her school sounds awful.  Second of all she is completely wacked out about her kids reading ability.  SO MANY PARENTS think early reading or advanced reading means WAY more than it does.   There is more to life.  Thankfully I know that seeing as I have an "under" achiever.[/quote]

You mis understand. I didn't say any poster on here has an under achiever, I said the POSTERs on here include many under-achievers. Adult under achievers.[/quote]
