Just straddle the middle, ebeth. All school officials have good intentions. I do think they believe in what they do. Our principals and sup.s are VERY smart people.
They are responsible for a group and I think they do a great job. I've gotta do what I've gotta do at home for mine.
DD6 has said for over a year that she wants to be a scientist. When asked what kind she says: "the kind that blows stuff up"
Everyone thinks this is very cute and funny. Unfortunately, I know that she really does want to blow stuff up!
That's chemical engineering, people. The math base I see at school isn't going to cut it. She's going to be too far behind by high school if we don't carve an alternative path for her.
Of course she's free to change her mind from now til then..........but just in case she doesn't......................
