Things have been relatively quiet and DS5 is seeming relatively well differentiated. But yesterday I got some pushback on school that looked depressingly familiar. I sent him to school with the chapter book he'd been reading (he wanted to stay home and read) and emailed his teacher about his requests for harder writing work. (Yes, my kindergartener asked for harder writing work. I KNOW.)
She immediately wrote back and said "Of course he can read that book during class--let's get him set up with a writing journal--I can pick him up some things at the teacher supply store for him--and I'm talking to the other teachers this morning about some more writing ideas for him."
We may need to clone her.
I think this is where you tell her exactly that. Or, better yet, have your son write a quick note to her stating how much this means to him as one of his assignments. So nice to read this thread, ultramarina!
