We had a regional competition last weekend. DDs school did not do well at all, which was ok with me, but I felt they never really knew what they were supposed to do. Their main advisor was ordered for bedrest a month ago, and the other teacher just let the kids study independently the entire time. These poor kids were lost although DD enjoyed the atmosphere and spending time with friends. Now this teacher is hinting that they may not even have a team next year. I wish they would have asked for parent help as I know many would have volunteered. This was our first year and DD is not sure if she even wants to do it next year. She did make some great friends with older GT kids in her school.
