Trying to help a friend and need some fast advice. Does anyone have any pithy responses to the rule that a child is not allowed to work ahead in the book/workbook or whatever (having already completed the task at hand and waiting for the other kids)? Indeed that the child might be disciplined(!) for doing so? (Context: public elementary school.)
(also, the ideal response will not put the teacher any further on the defensive, though maybe that's impossible)
It's so obvious to me that I can't remember how to articulate the response. I'll pop over to hoagies and see if there are any articles, but I'm trying to work fast...
thanks, I know someone here will know the answer right away
