And if I say something, how do I go about it in a way that won't annoy the teacher but will get results? [/quote]

It is difficult not to annoy the teacher. When we ask for more differentiation we are essentially saying to the teacher we don't think you are doing enough for our child. Probably is annoying That said, in most cases the teacher will get over it. Once she sees the child actually doing the more advanced work and succeeding, any decent teacher will support that child because DC also makes the teacher look better. My point is, be respectful but don't be afraid of being annoying.
