[QUOTE="HaoZi, post: 568479"] New accommodation in language arts. In her school there are two groups of 6th graders, called "teams". Her team has to read 100 pages a week for language arts, the other team only has to read 100 MINUTES a week. I suspect her team is the more advanced students and this might have something to do with it, but it's made Kiddo feel pressured and like it's too much on top of the summarizing and everything else that goes with it EVERY WEEK. Obviously Kiddo found this unfair. Also her reading comprehension is lagging behind her verbal comprehension, so added anxiety there, too. Sent email letting teacher know all this (since Kiddo finally spit it out to me in a nice rage), and they'll let her do 100 minutes a week instead, which will be much more doable, since we can set the timer for X minutes reading, X minutes free time, rinse and repeat. Yay for progress, here's to hoping Kiddo will do her part. [/QUOTE]
