[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From your description this sounds like it is more about emotion than facts. You feel that she was dumped, that she is ignored, that the teacher is just relieved she's an easy kid, that she is not recognized as special, and this is making you sad. But the only fact I heard is [b]that you would like [/b][b]her to be in a higher reading group[/b]. So, without the sadness and frustration etc., ask the teacher how she was assessed to be in this reading group because you think she should be in it. [/quote]

No, that is not a fact, that is a wish. The OP, however did state several times that her daughter aces tests. That is a fact. OP, if you can afford it, put her in a private school that promises to push kids ahead at their pace. Too much of public ed is being watered down to allow other kids to catch up. THAT is a fact![/quote]

completely true. And everyone gives the OP such a hard time because she wants her kid challenged! [/quote]

But if there truly are only four kids at her daughter's level then perhaps she is getting the appropriate amount of challenge for her ability. Perhals she has certain skills that she needs to master and she isn't yet.

I find OPs "my 97% full scale IQ daughter is with the stupid girl who almost flunked 1st grade and the two kids who can't handle early elementary without tutors" posts a bit off putting.

If she is even including a whisper of slamming her daughters' classmates in her communications with the teacher as she is here AND she is one of the always volunteering in the classroom moms as she indicated, it is no wonder that the past two teachers are treading carefully with communicating with her.[/quote]
