I had a chance to speak briefly to DD daughters teacher this morning. I told her I was considering and open to taking DD out of the rest of the year of K as I don't want her to be struggling for the next few years. She said DD is really struggling, but that she also sees a lot of potential in her, particularly in math, and that she would be flying if she had spent this year in preschool and then come to K next year. She said the potential she sees is what has her thinking we should try to get DD through. She said she will have a talk to the head of K-2 and we will discuss what to do going forward. As I have mentioned, I really like both the teacher and the school, and I put a lot of value in their opinions, so we will see what comes out of further discussions.

It breaks my heart to see my lovely, kind, considerate, and bright little girl thinking she is no good at anything.
