a group in maths soon if they continue to work hard and at the level they have been showing, that they should do just this.
Dd was criticised last year for not producing enough work to show how capable she is in maths.
So from day one of the new school year she has been working her butt off to demonstrate how good she is. By the beginning of week 3 of the term her teacher told me in front of her that should she continue to work as well as she has, that they would have to move her up to the top group.
In her end of term maths assessment she achieved 81% but on returning to school has remained in the same group as before.
Dd is not very happy and is questioning what the point in her working hard. Obviously, I am going the you are working hard for your own personal reward not for class recognition.
However, I do kind of feel that the teacher should do as she says or not have said anything at all.
Should I mention anything to the teacher or just allow my dd to become disenchanted and risk her loosing enthusiasm to work.
