My daughter is in 2nd grade and bored out of her mind. She finishes early and then gets in trouble because she's expected to create her own challenges or extend her own learning without the direct assistance from the teacher or teacher's aid (there isn't one). With teachers having classes up to 30 kids, it's understandable that there isn't enough time to work directly with the higher learners when the focus is pulling the slower learners forward. I'm very frustrated that the paperwork is handled for the TAG program at the school but the program is not being implemented.
