What has illustrated the complete lack of authentic communication with your school, teacher, or administration?
"you say your 5 year old wants to quit school. you know, all kids have a hard time adjusting to school, and allow me to assure you that her teachers are completely confident that everything is fine with her. the fact that YOU seem to think that our research-based methods aren't enough for your kid clearly illustrates the fact that YOU don't know your child as well as her teachers do."
i still want to smack my head on the desk.
oh! and one more: "she's perfectly average." it took me half the year to figure out that was an actual lie - and i still don't fully understand why the teachers thought it was necessary - i'm really not that scary and i wasn't asking for the moon. but for fully 5 months, i was picturing them having a class full of 4 year olds who enjoy reading Pulitzer prize-winning works about cancer... when in fact they really only had one.
