I understand, Morningstar! I have like friends' moms who are early childhood specialists and my own mom and dad (ec and primary Ed, but they are not ones to overpraise, let me tell you) telling me HOW advanced/rare/etcetc DD is, I guess bc they are not the ones having to teach DD, then I get very vague info from her actual teacher about HOW they are differentiating. Meanwhile DD spends a LOT of time with kids learning to read (like c-a-t, cat!). Anyway I agree, the low effort can help you artfully ask about challenging her. And grading is so bonkers as we've seen here, I'm glad I teach high school but yeah it can be silly! I at least could rate each student at that moment, knowing there was new working coming... A new book, say... But I KNOW some kids were beyond the class and once classes went up by 15 kids and I was tied to standards, it tied my hands a lot
