This sounds similar to our situation. There is a lot of drawing and reading done in the spare time instead of learning.
Another thing that might be happening is that the teacher may think that you are being pushy with your DD (you and I know you aren't and that you are just trying to provide adequate challenge for her) and wants to see if your DD will ask for the same thing.
I also agree it is not a child's responsibility to do this. I also get the same indifferent additude from this year's teachers. It makes me really appreciate the other teachers who cared more and were not offput by an involved parent.
