I also still vote for asking the teacher for suggestions for keeping her hands busy that ARE acceptable. Surely there must be something. We've been lucky in that so far even the strictest of our elementary teachers has allowed some amount of fidgeting as DD11 still doesn't sit still, I swear she does her work spinning in circles. DD6's teacher had to remove a beanbag chair from the room because she wouldn't stop going to sit in it (who's training who?) Seems like there should be a solution.
What does your DD say about the whole situation when you ask her? (ie not just your interpretation). Just curious as my kids always have great reasons for doing things even if their perception is different from the adults involved.
Why are you doing this type of homeschooling? just for a curriculum? Is it required in your state vs doing it all on your own? Or did you choose it choose it to give her "group" time with other kids?
