Mom 123,
I'm so sorry for those mean comments. Everyone's kids have different needs and she had no right to say that to you. Grinity's advice is excellent. I think I'll use it too. Just so you know - you are not alone. During our conference with the 1st grade teacher, principal, gt coordinator, and counselor I was explaining all of the different things my dd enjoys doing. Like reading about reptiles and doing workbooks and differing activities and the 1st grade teacher responded, "Maybe she comes to school to relax and that's why she doesn't want to perform" I could have use the magic earplugs....
Hang in there it will get better. It is only one comment. Maybe she was just having a bad day. Try to stay positive. Getting upset won't help...unfortunately.
