Haven't done this in a while!
Dear DD's school:
I must apologise. I'm sorry that my child is so smart. I had no idea that you had never dealt with a child who read a few grade levels above their peers before. I'm surprised that this is new for you, but I'll go with it. It must be very distressing to you. Would you like to know what's distressing to me? The fact that education professionals would attempt to tell me that the best practice is for my child to 'wait' and read books at the same grade level as her classmates, and that she shouldn't check out books from the library that she likes, because her classmates might notice. She wants a Ramona Quimby book? Give her the effin' Ramona Quimby book! It is a sad day when educators try to pull the wool over parents' eyes and tell them that withholding a challenge from their students is really the best thing for them. I am very glad that you are taking such good care of your low-achieving students and doing everything you can to help them improve, but it's not necessary to under-serve your higher-achieving students to do so. Straighten up or feel my wrath!
kthxbye!
