[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds like you love your daughter, you don't think the school recognizes what's special about her, and you think that the kid who got the award is far less deserving and a bully to boot (and apparently you're not too crazy about the little girl's family either).  [/quote]
Each and every child is special and should be treated as an individual.

I don't know who deserves this award.  These are all kids who are just learning to function in the new system. I was in the room with them today and they're all great kids, I couldn't pick one over the other, [b]they're all different and wonderful in his/her own way.[/b]

[b]The girl who won the award deserves to some extent.  She tries very very hard to do things perfectly and follows teacher's instructions to a tee.[/b]  But she's not better than other kids in her class.  She has issues and has to learn that her friends are not her possessions and she cannot control them.  Knowing her family, I can tell she's picking up the dominating behavior at home. [b]Which I find troubling for my DD, because I don't want her to be around such personalities.[/b]

I'll look into the best option for my DD.  I think we should close this thread since there is no more to add.[/quote]

What's wrong with following the teacher's instructions? Sounds like an excellent student to me.[/quote]

Perhaps after reading these responses, she sees things more clearly?  This was the most reasonable post she's written. It isn't a full reversal, but it is as good as she can do I'm guessing.[/quote]

I don't find "I don't want my kid to be around kids like that" particularly reasonable.

I'm guessing that the OP will find homeschooling the best option, because it allows the OP to have the most control over the OP's child's environment.[/quote]
