I'm going to talk to them, but not to complain about the book. To let them know how heart broken she is. She is under the impression her teachers think she's dumb. If she wasn't worried I wouldn't be, but being a small school she'll have the same teachers next year. How's the year going to go when she thinks they are thinking of her as equivilent to a 5 year old? She's the type of kid that will be affected by it. I'm going to get her a few books on Friday to replace it & will keep it for DS.

There are 15 kids in her class room I think & til now she's recieved books that suited her age. If it was a mix up, you'd think someone might look twice at an 8 - 9 year old getting a small child's book while they were sticking in the name? Its a small school, they all know her.

I do understand that they don't go 'shopping' for each child specifically, but you'd think they'd sort them into age groups, then boy/girl, then put a name in each one at least.
