Just one more thought. Clue your daughter's teacher into what you are doing with the testing, and talk to her about the "red xs" and "frowny faces" and hours of homework. She may not realize that the homework that the other students blithely whiz through in 20 minutes takes your daughter so long. And she many not be aware of the negative impact of all those X's. Be your daughter's advocate, and if the teacher doesn't agree to compromise on homework (as in reduce it significantly) and stop with the red X's - I would go and talk with the principal. Your daughter deserves a positive first grade experience.
