Here's an example of "getting crap past the radar". �I posted in another thread yesterday that Wyatt's been messing around with his letters covertly. �He convinced my grandmother he was having a hard time telling �b, p, q, d apart. �I said, what?! �He's known his letters for over a year! �She said, well those are hard. �Then he started drawing u&n interchanged. �Then yesterday he did this
http://i945.photobucket.com/albums/ad296/Hablame_today/bc7fc25d.jpg I laughed at him because he thought I didn't know what he was doing and when he couldn't immediately write the 2 backwards he wrote it forwards and made a baby voice and tried to convince me, 'is this how you draw a 2.' ? �And then today He figured out this morning 2 is a backwards s, he wrote on another paper in place of an s and said '2' outloud. �But look at this, he made a wiggle on the s in bats, then ran with in making a 3 instead of the s in houses.

And of course I think it's funny and great and he's just playing with shapes and patterns (which is, ironically, age appropriate. �Just not with letters), and milking the baby act for great-grandma.
I've seen similar stories and I could see how it would make advocacy, well, less funny than this story. �So, it's a real thing I'm thinking of. �There's probably a better word. �"out of sync priorities". �Well, there's probably a real word for it. �So I was talking about this trait when it's inconvenient and I must have been thinking of a recent thread where the teacher's not seeing what the parent's seeing. �I think I was thinking of the girls hiding their talents thread where the teacher didn't think they were bored but the parents did.
