hee - that is amazing - thanks for the story!

although, i have to say i'm not too encouraged by the teacher's responsiveness - the school is really wrapped up in the DRA scoring, which is killing my poor kid. yet another useless reader came home after this incident - a few levels higher, but it's hardly representative of the reading we consistently see. if a kid reads teacher notes upside down, and fast enough to not be observed snooping... you'd think they might pause to re-evaluate!

ah, well, we're out of that school at the end of the year, anyway. not too many weeks left!


Every Sunday it brooded and lay on the floor. Inconveniently close to the drawing-room door.
