I had this conversation with DD, aged 5 and in Y1:
DD: The teacher asked the class 'what is 6 minus 7?' All the children shouted 'zero'; I knew it was minus 1 but shouted zero as well.
ME: Why did you do that?
DD: Because I didn't want to be the odd one out
This concerns me because it is not an isolated incident, this is happening more and more. It is one thing to get stressed because a uniform item looks slightly different from the others or her pencil case is not quite the right size, but when it comes to the academic stuff, well, it's a different thing.
Should I worry?
