[quote=Anonymous]I think that at the kindergarten level that is as it should be, OP. That's really the most important thing to success in the early years. I say this as a mom of a kid who is very advanced academically despite us doing nothing at home for DC in this regard. A previous poster in a different thread said that some kids in K need to work on their academics and some on their social skills and that the latter are more important. My DC is one of those who needs to work on good behavior and obedience.

I'm saying this in the nicest possible way because I completely agree with you about how much this situation stinks for your daughter. No school should be putting that kind of pressure on kids at that age. I don't think our school does this but if they did you can bet I'd be as upset as you about it. It sounds like your child has nice manners and does well academically but just doesn't kiss up to the teacher and therefore doesn't get recognized. I think there's nothing wrong with you or your child. You just had the bad luck to have a bad teacher.

[quote=Anonymous]OP here.  So what I'm seeing is that the elementary school system values good behavior and obedience above all. That's sad.[/quote][/quote]
