I just saw the post "Oh No! It's starting again." and I didn't know if I should laugh or cry...Second day of school and already got an email from teacher saying DS10 was standing on counter and refused to fill out a "Get to know your classmates bingo sheet"...Teacher, "In all of my years of teaching, I have never had a student do this" etc...etc...Sigh. Asked DS about it..."Mom I was standing on the counter to catch a fly in midair and observe it" "I just don't understand the relevance of filling out that bingo sheet. I've known everyone since practically kindergarten. It's a waste of time." Sigh. So of course had to explain ONCE AGAIN appropriate choices. I know he knows the difference. He just doesn't want or can't do it. Does this non-conformity ever get better??? Still waiting to hear back from GT teacher about subject accelerating him in reading and science. Instead of laughing, I'm crying. I would love to have one year of teacher peace, please!
