sounds familiar!
and what is it with teachers?
once upon a time, teachers became teachers b/c they LOVED to teach kids new things etc,
when my DS was in public kinder this past fall~
without ever actually taking time to do math with him- other than what the public K curric is- and without ever asking my DS to read to her etc,
the K teacher told me in a mtg, she said that just b/c DS had a few sight words memorized, and has a few math facts memorized- does not mean he can read or that he can do math.
forget that he has had the K sight word list down since age 3 or reads with full comprehension, able to retell in his own words and answer questions etc, and that he actually loves math story problems and learning new ways to add #s etc etc...

i'm going to look into this "dreambox" ? never heard of it before, is it a computer app? maybe my DS6 would enjoy it as well!
