I have to see, it was illuminating to discuss with her the simple fact that school's main purpose is learning, and to ask her if current school is helping her learn.
"No, I don't really learn anything there. I'd like to go someplace where I could learn things." Not emotional or bitter about it--just matter of fact. It reminded me of the time she offhandedly remarked that the only useful thing she'd learned at school so far this year was how to do a better job cutting a circle out of paper. (Not true--she also has learned how to read a clock and count money, two things we hadn't taught her. And I assume SOME of the improvement in her writing this year is due to school. But sill.)
