[QUOTE="Buglover, post: 513094, member: 14112"] OMG confuzzled that is exactly what husband said to me today, almost verbatim. "The minute I walk in the door I hear every single stressful thing that happened to you, that the kids did, etc. Let me unwind for a few minutes!" Hmmmm maybe there is a pattern here.... At age 6, 1st grade, they have to memorize all the single digit addition, subtraction, they have to graph things, do skip counting (3, 6, 9, 12, 15 etc), starting fractions, telling time, know hundreds/tens/ones places, count backwards, greater than/less than, and do word problems like "If Joe plays with Sue for three hours and they start at noon when will he go home". It is way more than I did in 1st grade. She is way ahead in reading (6th grade level or above, last night she read adult Mercedes Lackey sci-fi to me and only needed help with the characters' bizarre names. She did complain that there were no pictures). They kept telling me she was too young (August birthday) and I should have her redo Kindergarten, now I think the sensory processing disorder (SPD) and ???? are affecting her school.
