Thanks, everyone - It has been challenging for sure, but we *finally* got our daughter moved to the better classroom. (The school is all blended age classes, which is what seemed confusing in my description.) Our learning curve was letting the kiddo putter through last year and putting too much trust in the teacher, when our instincts, and our daughter's disengagement, were telling us otherwise.
The last two weeks have been grueling - We had to lobby the entire org for support for our daughter, and we're so relieved she can have a fresh start. Her new teacher is awesome, and delighted to collaborate and communicate.
Happy Ending: Two days in the new class, and our daughter is excited again about learning and feels good about herself again.
