That's great about your daughter UM, I think the kids can be more genuine. Sometimes the teachers view seems colored by other stuff, like behavior or personality.

And space and astronomy were the major areas I knew nothing about so of course that is what DS loves. I can hang in there for awhile longer on physics, chemistry and bio but astronomy I am learning with him, it's kind of fun.

Deacongirl - love the idea of writing a letter - also really good for DS to get encourage to write or type non school stuff.
