DD14 was told yesterday by her dual-enrollment math teacher that she is one of the strongest math students he has this year... (He also teaches two other dual-enrollment classes-- calculus and college algebra in addition to statistics). She strongly suspects that "one of the" is only because her BFF is in calculus.

She also learned from the teacher that he thinks she is the strongest statistics student he has encountered in his teaching career (of a decade or more). He wants her permission to use her class project as an example for future students-- to show them "how to do it right."

I'm particularly impressed given that she did this with no direction from either us or from that teacher regarding the project-- the teacher has been more or less AWOL in terms of instructional support all year.

Somewhat amusingly, she has also heard lately from English and social studies teachers that {subject area} is clearly "her thing" and that she is "very strong" in those areas-- has she considered a college major in this... wink



It's just sweeter to hear it from the math teacher, who is really not effusive like that-- and in the math, she has to actually think pretty hard.

Schrödinger's cat walks into a bar. And doesn't.
