Irena- I'm sorry your ds teacher doesn't get him and moreover is focusing on the bad. It is frustrating. I think sometimes (and I'm not saying anything the teacher thinks/ has scored is right) teachers are focused on what's lacking, what can be improved. In my opinion, a good teacher can/ will identify strengths and weaknesses and provide the challenge and support appropriately.

It's good that he is happy and she IS challenging him though. I would be happy about that.

This sort of situation makes me wonder/ realize that not many will "get" our kids. Yet, even if they don't get them; they will be kind and challenge them. (Maybe I'm lower my standards??)
