[quote=Anonymous]I had a similar experience with my Latino son who has dark skin. Teachers seem surprised that he is advanced AND it takes them a while to admit that he is advanced. When he entered kindergarten reading Magic Tree House books the teacher thought he had memorized picture books and that is why he could read them. It wasn't until I insisted she listen to him read any book she picked out did she reluctantly admit he could read. I am friends with an Asian mom and the assumption was her child was advanced from day one. Same thing in math. He entered k and was about to finish the end of first grade Singapore Math. She marked him down in when he drew a pattern with 1/3/5/7 objects and wrote on his paper he needed to work on understanding patterns.[/quote]
