    That's fantastic! And kudos to you and your DD for sticking it out, especially after the gential mutilation assignment!!! Now having gotten through it, it was an awesome teachable moment for your DD about perservence particularly with something difficult to achieve her goals. Also a wonderful lesson that people's preconceived ideas can be challenged, but politely and respectfully and by being true to your own character. And it must have been really difficult to let all that stuff go. Hopefully the next set of teachers will be the gifts you both deserve!!

    Hooray! Good for you. Wow, you had to put up with a lot. I'm sure your family's experience will help other kids at that school. Kudos.
