[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't speak for others, but the reason I assumed you might not know her reading level is because you don't come across as having a high degree of cognitive flexibility, which suggests you might now know what is in someone else's mind.

In any case, I think its very bizarre that your take-away from the fact that Finnish teachers know their students very well is that teacher expertise is trivial relative to your momma sense.[/quote]

So, in your mind, we should not question the expertise of a teacher? So if a teacher gives out assignments that are not challenging we should assume that she knows better and the child should stay bored?

Well, I did ask today. It turns out she doesn't have time to listen to children read. She's been pleading for parent volunteers to come and listen to them read and assign books to take home.  Some mom came and sent the wrong books for the entire class. So much for competency. [/quote]

What school district?  In Fairfax, the DRA is required to be given 2x/year.  It would have already been give.  I assure you if it is in FX county she has already (or a reading teacher) or someone else with DRA training, has already assessed your child once this year.  Does that mean that they have time for kindergarten reading groups?  Maybe not...but your kid has had at least one assessment in FX County.  If in Montgomery Co. I'd strongly suspect a similar situation.[/quote]
