We just finished a chat this morning with our DD's teacher about one of the periodical assessments done in our state for grade schoolers. This is the one they use for determining SSA. Our DD did not do as well as expected and this may hurt her chances of acceleration (despite all the other WISC, Cogat, etc that she does really well). The teacher believes that DD just races through without reading the whole question for each problem. The principal guessed that as well.
So - how do you deal with this? She is shooting herself in the foot. She asks for more challenging work. Complains about easy work, and is getting more frustrated with school. She's in 3rd grade BTW.
