I had a teacher in 4th grade who decided she didn't like me because I read the Andromeda Strain and understood it. It was on her college freshman reading list. She proceeded to make my life miserable after that. I still hate her. <BR/><BR/>Not allowing your daughter to advance seems like it is either due to laziness or a self-esteem problem (hers, not your daughter's). It is not pushy for you to want your daughter to learn at a pace that is right for her.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24409588.post-27140263425549089222008-08-30T19:13:00.000-07:002008-08-30T19:13:00.000-07:00Good for you for reaching beyond status quo.

Ask why there is the "one book per day" rule. Could it be that they are doing so much classwork that the teacher does not have time to let them test on more than one? (not likely from most of the schools I have experience with) Does the teacher think she is not able to handle more than one, since the books are getting bigger and the tests harder on a higher level? You are the mom, you know your child better than the teacher. Its possible that you might just have to have her read a lot at home that she does not get tested on at school. That is what we had to do, because our son's teacher did not do testing on a daily basis. Don't let a bad school hold her back!!!Kellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04514779298090271745noreply@blogger.com
