Thanks, everyone! The meeting actually went much better than I had expected. The teachers assured me that they do NOT overemphasize the importance of AR in class. There were other "requirements" that DD had quoted that were simply not true. (For example, DD had insisted that her teacher was making her read all of the books twice.) For whatever reason, DD is going through a very emotional period right now, and AR seems to be the trigger. We talked with them about how to handle her when she gets emotional, and they agreed to keep in contact. We did address the reading group, and the reading teacher agreed that it was a bad situation for DD. Overall, it went very well.
