Good for your mother - I had a story - not nearly as bad. my daughter went from 1st to second grade. 1st grade teacher said she was very bright and advanced. In third grade she entered the gifted program. One day my daughter came home from school after only 2 weeks in second grade. she told us about her reading group (the teacher had set up two). she told us about who was in her group, one of the student her group had somewhat of a learning disability. We checked with the teacher and it turns out that the teacher had divided the class between essentially slow and quick learners - after only two weeks - my daughter was quiet so did not really open up to this new teacher yet. We went ballistic and wrote a scathing letter to the principle after the teacher said that every parents thinks their kids are advanced. The letter at first said that she should have checked with the 1st grade teacher - then went on to say it is teachers like her that get children on a learning path the limits their potential. The next day the groups were dissolved and my daughter went on to attend UCLA and is in Law school.
