The teacher was really good about it and made some suggestions for extending stuff at home. She said that maybe she (the teacher) hadn't explained the lesson well enough so the kids would understand why they were doing it. She also pointed out that if DD "really" got the lesson, we wouldn't have known the trials were made up. She had come up with the same possible, but *least* likely answers for all 8 trials.

I agreed with this last point but, as I told the teacher, I was loathe to tell my daughter how to hide things from me. The graph we made did show that her made-up answers never happened in actual trials. That was as close as I could get.

The teacher also used the opportunity to ask other things about DD and her other areas of strength & weakness. Specifically she asked if I had any ideas why DD avoids writing and focuses on drawing pictures to convey her thoughts.
