Well, at least her teacher this year "gets" DD. That has been so good for DD's self-esteem and has really made her more willing to work on writing. Unfortunately, today is her teacher's last day. She is going on maternity leave and DD will have a long-term sub after spring break. This sub is a retired teacher who taught DD in first grade. I'm afraid that this is not a good teacher-student match. Sigh. I'm hoping things will be better this time around.
