Okay, OP.  You are right.  All of your perspectives are 100% correct and the school is terrible and teachers are incompetent and your kid's spirit is being crushed and she's not being recognized for all of her special talents and she's not learning enough and not learning it the right way and not getting enough individual attention and everyone is dismissive of you and you and your DD are the sufferers of a huge injustices that must be righted because no one understands you and if everyone just did everything the way that you think they should then all would be right with the world.

Feel better now?[/quote]
No. I'm trying not to think in black and white.

However, I'm very concerned about DD right now. Not about the special club, but for her social skills and this weird friendship.

And I'm just crushed that I'm the one who has been fostering this friendship with the other girl. I put DD in the same school, I thought they'd support each other being friends and all.

The girl behaves herself well in front of adults, but I'm not sure what's going on when no one is looking.  A year ago I saw that girl sit on top of DD on a playground and was slapping her face.  Her mother and I intervened and wrote it off to kids being kids. You know, kids hit and kick and bite each other sometimes.

After the last play date a few weeks ago my DD came back from their house and told me she never wants to do it again. I said "OK, no more play dates".  But now this came up.

Of course, the teacher is not going to take me seriously.  She just nominated this girl as a model citizen to the special club.  She doesn't know her family.

I'm afraid that I've either been totally blind or I'm totally overreacting.  I'm trying to grasp for some rational middle ground.  I'm trying for my fears not to get the best of me and act rationally.
So I rationally went to the teacher and talked with her and DD.  She assured us that it's a little bump in the road and she'll take measures.  But I'm starting to doubt that the teacher can do anything about this whole thing.[/quote]
