I'll keep that not-signing thing in mind.
What really gets me (and maybe this is the "gifted" part of me, such as it is) is the inconsistency, with the teachers I've encountered, with the principal (his refusal to change my daughter's classroom last year based on "policy", no exceptions, was garbage because he did it for another parent who screamed and hollered at him. The inconsistency is true at the library, where they let some kids "slide" and get out more books when they haven't brought their original ones back, and other kids they cite "policy". And all the kids know who gets to slide and who doesn't. I know "that's life" but it's so prevelant that it's hard to catch a break from one example after the other.
Well I'm going to stop now and try and salvage the rest of the day. Can you tell I was at the school volunteering this morning? The teacher didn't say a word when DD checked out a kindergarten-level book. I tried to persuade DD to get something else, but she was very down, and now so I am.
