Well, that last bit is positive, I must say.
Because when I asked about those things in middle school and again in high school, I again just got the; "Is that Martian you're speaking? Er-- or is it Venusian?" stare.
It took me begging for DD to sit in with the SpEd writing skills class (which helped her a lot, btw, because it covered foundational concepts originating from 2nd-4th grade, back when she hadn't needed to bother paying any attention at all) to get anything like assistance.
Well, and coming here.
Nice job maintaining your composure under duress, by the way. Well-done.
