this has been our exact experience!

all i ever wanted was a partnership with the school - and i thought we had it, right up until the day we hit the first snag. i literally don't care how much extra work we have to do to supplement whatever limitations the public school may have - as long as everyone involved can admit that there isn't only One True Way to learn.

which i thought would be a given - you know, for educators? ha. silly me!
