Yeah, see, that is where I am too...she's not always what I guess they deem appropriate. But she IS also gifted and quirky and unlike most of the others. And outside of school, she's a dream, really. Most people can't believe the problems we are having...

I'm going to keep her out of the classroom day for a couple of weeks and try to get some meetings at school and figure this all out...It's pretty obvious to me that she IS bored out of her little gourd. We don't have to go to that classroom day...

I get excited when the library lets me know my books are ready for pickup...
