[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't imagine that requesting a conference with the first grade teacher for a student new to FCPS would be seen as a negative and cause the teacher to give a low HOPE rating next year. Ask for the conference. Express concerns that your child came from Montessori and is struggling to adapt to public school. It's fine to say that your child could use a bit more challenge. As long as you don't come across as arrogant, imply that your kid is smarter than all of the other kids, and imply that the teacher doesn't know how to do her job, you'll be fine. [/quote] Thank you! This is great advice and I would definitely aspire to avoid coming across arrogant or saying kid is bored, smarter than others, etc. [/quote]
