not to stray too far OT, but i only meant about stuff like self-care/getting ready fast enough to not inconvenience others - which i do expect DD to do with good grace. that's a human-thing, regardless of intelligence.

but i'm SO with you on the repetitive homework/schoolwork - it's not just hard for her to "buckle down", it's completely counterproductive and leads to blending/mentally coasting/horrible depression. and i'll be joining you in the homeschooling in the fall for this precise reason!

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