The news keeps getting better - we definitely did the right thing pressing for this to happen.
DD got the only 100% on the latest science test, and she was only in class for the last 1/4 of the unit. The art teacher told me yesterday that DD makes her day. She loves her enthusiasm and interest and perspective on things and that she is not intimidated or anything.
The only slight snag is that in English they are reading and doing a lot with "7 essential habits for the teenager" and most of the things in there are so far away from DD's perspective she is having to work hard to figure out what she is supposed to do for some of the assignments. But, she is trying to figure them out and make some sense of them when she has no reference point for the material. We know this is purely a function of her age and aren't worried about it. (Especially since she is accepting the challenge and rarely getting frustrated by it.
)
She is also more focused and working more during homeschool time! Her attitude is improved and she is willing to do more than she was before.
It is so nice to have a good placement for her. Keeping our fingers crossed that it continues.
