It sounds as though the teacher and counselor are working from a guide book that has every incorrect cliche out there. Good luck in you advocacy.
I was curious what my son would come up with when I asked him about being Jack in the situation the teacher gave. He answered that he would plant seeds at the top of the stalk and try to grow another one on top of the first. I guess he is equally not-very-gifted!
Hehe, this post prompted me to ask mine; he said he would climb up there and find out why it stopped growing, "maybe something was in its way" he said. LOL! Three different kids with such different answers, why on earth would the teachers not be prepared for a lot of unique responses?
