Yes, I did send her an email that basically said something along those lines.
I know there is the "hyperfocus" thing with ADD, but it's not like she has hyperfocus on a few areas of interest. She's just focused. On whatever. Well, homework...homework can be a struggle. But classwork has always been completed on time, for instance. She isn't THE quickest to finish--but her work is superior.
Frankly, I think DD and her teacher are not hitting it off. It happens. DD can be prickly and can start off giving a bad impression, though she is not poorly behaved, per se. She isn't a cute pleaser, although she actually has a huge heart and means well. It sometimes takes adults a while to "get" her and understand how she ticks. Some adults immediately love her, but unfortunately they don't tend to be elementary school teachers. All her past teachers have eventually become fond of her, but this isn't our first rocky start, and with adults who only deal with her superficially, sometimes it never gets better.
