ds1 aged 6 has been struggling with his reading recently mainly because he is not showing much interest. He has been on the same level for a while. He asked me the other day when I picked him up if he could ask his teacher if he could go up to the next level. I explained she might say no but he can ask her. So he asked and she very nicely explained that she wanted him to make some more progress before, and he seemed happy with that and we went home. The next day he come home very upset, apparently she told him infront of the whole class that he should not ask a teacher to more up. He said she sounded angry but he is very sensitive so it is possible she might not of sounded angry. But I think it is a bit off to even say anything to him and especially infront of the whole class. Or is it me in the wrong should I have not allowed him to ask? Just need some perspective before I talk to her

Is it inappropriate for a child to ask a teacher to move up to the next level of reading books?
