In K they did some stuff she didn't need. But this teacher was amazing with what she did like Yoga and giving my DD a special challenge as a narrator in a play. The teacher asked my DD to do read what I thought was too hard with words like Bethlehem. Well DD exceeded my expectations not only could she read all the big words but she had it all memorized along with what every other child had to do. After that, I felt like teacher understood what she needed and would do her best for DD.
That's a great story! That's what teachers are supposed to do. Sadly, it is often the teachers in the Pre-K and K that are comfortable with a wide range of developmental places within the classroom, and the rest of elementary seems to be most concerned with leveling the kids out.
Glad you got my TV reference. I do feel like that barking dog sometimes. Blues Clues used to make me cry because 'Steve' was so interested in what was on Blue's mind, even if it wasn't easy to find out.
