    No problem. That's inevitable with the internet. Obviously, if I actually posted the letter then there would be less confusion. I posted my reply partly in an attempt not to contribute to teacher bashing in deference to all the good teachers out there. The letter would be reassuring to the parents of most students - it is just that DS is an outlier. Personally, I believe that it is okay for the teacher to enlist the parents' help, especially the parents of purportedly GT students. The teacher was not expecting the parents to digest the reading selection for the students but wanted them to at least encourage the students to reread the selection a couple of times (maybe to the parent) and think about it.
