If the "those" means parents who are pushy... take it from a person who is by nature not pushy - if you're convinced that putting what you want under this question on this form is verging on being pushy, you're *not* pushy and you're not going to come across that way
Yes, this kind of "those" parents.
We don't turn it in until later this week but here's what I ended up putting: "Experience challenges with a good attitude while being instructed at the appropriate level for her."
I think that's good but it might be more helpful to give more specifics and that may be what the teacher is looking for. I probably shouldn't be guessing about this but I think I would say something like - I would like her to experience challenges with a good attitude and to attempt to read more advanced chapter books by the end of the year if it is within her capabilities to do so, attempt to work on multiplication, adding and subtracting 3 digit numbers (or whatever is next in line for math for her) by the end of the year, to continue to expand her knowledge in areas that interest her (planets, history, whatever) and to learn more about things she hasn't already expressed interest in. (And you should probaly say something like...) - Her weakest area is her fine motor skills (as an example) so am hoping she can learn to write more legibly by the end of the year.

I would also probably write about improving any weaker areas she has first rather than last.
Maybe my response would be inappropriate, I don't know, but I think if I was the teacher I would be looking for matter-of-fact responses that tell me what the parent thinks is logically next for his or her child to be learning.
