If it makes you feel better I had the same reaction - I had to stare wide eyed at my feet for a while to stop a tear escaping - when a teacher that had not seen my DD as particularly bright admitted after she saw the test scores she had been wrong and now understood why my daughter hadn't leaped at the chance to do more early 2nd grade worksheets . She has done an abrupt about face and is now a full on advocate for my DD.
The relief that having the wall you were forced to bang your head against removed brings is enormous, isn't it?
