I've arranged a meeting with my dd's reception class teach this afternoon and I'm now in 16 minds about it. And very nervous . I think I'm going to come across as a very pushy Mum , but I'm worried that if I want to speak up it's now or never.
DD started school 2 weeks ago, but today will only be her 3rd full day. I found out at the weekend that there are two reception classes. 1 is a normal reception class. The other class (which I thought was another normal reception class) is actually half reception and half the year above. It seems that the brighter children are put in this class.
DD has always been bright for her age. She started school with an amazing vocab, writing her name in full and a few other words and reading simple words that she can sound out (cat, dog, sun, etc). The school she's in doesn't have links with the pre-school she went to so the teachers wouldn't have known that she was a bright button.
Am I being unreasonable to ask for her to be moved into the other class? What would you do?
AIBU?
Or just a pushy mum? Advice please!
