Wow, I feel like I could have written your post word for word. We have had a similar problem with our 1st grader's teacher. She just doesn't 'see' it and doesn't speak positively about dd. This is even after the teacher tells us she can't engage dd, that she doesn't participate, speak up, etc...
One thing I've figured out is this teacher is very direct, forward, assertive, ADHD-ish, extroverted, and bossy. Couple that with dd's anxiety, especially when asked questions or has to perform, I can see how dd might not perform up to this teacher's standards. Dd is a very slow processor, she thinks things out before answering to be sure she is 100% correct no matter what is asked and she is extremely introverted. So I think their two different personalities clash.
