DD (year 1) is bright, and doing well at school. She is always very eager, and has done a few particularly good pieces of written work recently, which her teacher has shown to the rest of the class - for example, reading out her story to the other children at storytime. The teacher has made a point of commenting to me about the same bits of work, and she does certainly write well for her age.
At first, I thought this was lovely - dd was clearly pleased and proud of her work. However, it seems to be happening quite frequently, and I have no idea if the teacher does this as regularly with other children's work or not. I don't want to ask dd about this directly, as I really don't want to encourage comparisons with other children.
If it is the teacher's habit to regularly share bits of good work from all of the children with the rest of the class, then I'm absolutely fine with that - it's a nice way of celebrating achievement and inspiring all of the kids to do their best. However, from little things that dd and other children have said, I am getting the impression that dd's work is getting singled out more than most, and I am not very comfortable with this at all.
I absolutely love her teacher, who has been brilliant in every other way, so I don't want to make a fuss unnecessarily and I may be barking up the wrong tree entirely anyway. Is there any way in which I can address this tactfully?
