DS (year 5) has parent's night soon. Past experience tells me that this is time when I am presented with a short list of targets and I'm asked to sign off on the targets.
The problem is that for maths his targets have often been things he could do already (usually for some time). I've always signed in the past, usually after trying to point out that the targets have already been met. Typically the teacher agrees with me, but asks me to sign anyway saying that she will change them (but she never does). Then DS sits learning nothing for the rest of the year.
So, would I be unreasonable to refuse to sign this time? Obviously its a new teacher again so I feel a little bad hauling my emotional baggage from my experience of previous years without giving her the benefit of the doubt that she could actually be the one who wants to challenge DS (I have good reason to doubt this though!).
