Chin up Talullah; it's no fun, but at least you aren't alone!
Val
I'd rather be alone. I could taunt you all about how when I went to the classroom the first time the teacher had the other kids pasting squares to make a mosaic, but mine had to tile them in a repeating pattern and calculate how many squares she'd need beforehand. And when they were making sets of ten with manipulatives she was figuring out the factors of ten with manipulatives. And it was so mundane the teacher hadn't even needed to consult about it.
But not, unfortunately.
Wow...okay. I apologize if I offended you. I wasn't trying to be rude or glib. Sometimes humor can help people feel better about difficult situations, but I obviously failed here. Not sure why you need to taunt us about your child's abilities (?).
But if you want to be alone, what's the point of posting here? What do you want?
Val
Oh, no, sorry!!!! I didn't take you as being rude or glib! I was being self-pitying. I don't want to be different. I just want to send my kid off to school and have them do it all for me. I want them to take care of it without me having to lift a finger. I would love to be able to taunt you about the teacher's abilities, not my childs (which are no different than anyone else's child here). I'm sorry I offended you
Val, I think you're misreading Tallulah completely. I think what she's saying is that she'd happily deal with feeling alone if it was because she was the only person whose child was getting an appropriate education; she'd rather be in that situation than in a crowd along with lots of people who are disatisfied with what school is doing. Right T?
yes! That's what I meant! Thank you for clarifying for me before I got back here.
