Geofizz-- yes, that's great. I'll send an email to her on Thursday or Friday.
It seems to me that the teacher's perceptions are likely warped by sample size, because if your DD gets only two word problems, and gets one of them wrong, that's a failing average.
She was getting 100% on the worksheets (okay, I made her check her work and there were always a few mistakes, but she could still find and fix them, and they weren't in the word problems.).
I'm actually a loss to understand this. The reports I get from the kid are different from the reports I get from the school. I expect that the truth is somewhere in between, but it's hard to ignore DD when she says, "AND THEN THE OTHER KIDS DON'T GET IT and the teacher goes back to the beginning and we have to do it ALL OVER AGAIN!!!!" She's even had to teach the other kids; when I brought this up at the meeting, I was told that "many kids do this."
