On the brighter side, DS14 has a ton of friends, and they all seem to enjoy his sense of humor. So there. smile

Anyway don't be put off it some teachers don't get your kid. Others will.

My son went through all the editorial iterations when he submitted a short story for the high school literary magazine. All the student editors loved it. It went to the faculty sponsor for final approval; she wrote "i don't get it" and that was that. Sigh. But he went on to write and produce a play in college, so the experience didn't keep him down for long.
