Best of All: Received glowing, gushing email from science teacher about how much she loves having DS in class--that he is funny and she loves joking in class and he gets her humor and vice versa. It's a little ironic that his math/science teachers like him best when his strength area is really more humanities/arts oriented but I'll take it anyhow. My working hypothesis is that science/math folks are more logical and less likely to take offense to his blunt, literal communication style.
This reminds me of my DS14, who is gifted but not 2e. He has a very dry, sarcastic sense of humor. Apparently some teachers didn't appreciate this.
For one assignment in language arts, he had to write a humorous story. He did and I thought it was pretty funny. But the teacher gave him a B- because she didn't.
On the brighter side, DS14 has a ton of friends, and they all seem to enjoy his sense of humor. So there.
Anyway don't be put off it some teachers don't get your kid. Others will.
