Cool thanks all for your input. I was mainly waiting for the IQ test as I thought it would be a handy factor to have being as we are doing it anyway (to see if she can access a gifted program). I totally understand the bullying can happen anywhere, my main concern is that it has been going on for some time and the kindy doesn't seem to have a strategy that deals with it except she has to tell them about it, no intervention etc. DD also told me last night he is picking on many children and still nothing is being done that is proving effective anyway. From what you have all said change seems like the best, if we weren't testing I think I would be doing that.
Lovemydd, I think the idea that dd can spend as much time as she likes on a project is very appealing, it's the feedback I keep reading about kids not being able to progress as they are ready is the concerning part. DD is at kindy tomorrow so I'll go in and have another look, if it still seems good we'll all go together for a session and go from there.
Thanks all it is so great to be able to put a problem out there and get some thoughts back. All I'm getting from my friends is sheesh it's only preschool, tell her to suck it up and get on with it....
