Re: writing plays-- that takes a considerable amount of creativity, vision, and nuance. To have such a complex understanding that she has worked out tone and gesture means that she's making her creations truly come to life. Most adults don't exhibit that kind of creativity! You must be smitten with your DD; she sounds adorable!
As a complete tangent, have you ever used a service like Lulu to publish your daughter's writing for personal use? She might enjoy having a polished format of her work together, particularly when her work is of a serial nature.
I think this is one part of it. She also mentioned that she doesn't think she is an out of the box thinker. To sum it up she doesn't see my dd as gifted as the other kids who qualified for the G&T class in her class (3 other kids). So basically she is trying to determine my dd's giftedness by how she performs in class in relations to these 3 other students. Despite the fact that she tells me she can't engage my dd, my dd doesn't talk or share with her, dd doesn't share her emotions in class, doesn't participate, and that she (the teacher) just doesn't get my dd.
This teacher's opinion is based on an n=3 sample? And she feels confident enough on that basis to relay a critique to you, even when she openly admits she doesn't understand your daughter? I think you're right not to take her comments seriously.
