[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] No, there will not be other kids like her, if she truly is as described. [/quote] I agree, but to answer the OP's question, she still should do nothing. If she tells the teacher about how advanced her daughter is, the teacher will just roll her eyes and assume that OP is just like all of the other parents of above average kids who think their kids are geniuses. Even if the teacher figures out that OP's kid is well beyond the norm, the teacher is going to be more concerned with helping the lower performing children gain basic literacy and math skills than she will be with enriching the very top kids. If your school district uses some sort of adaptive academic testing like MAP tests or iready, then the teacher should get a decent idea of how high performing your kid is. Even then, I would just push for low maintenance accommodations, like letting your child bring books from home to read. [/quote]
