Every time my son "excels" at something academic, I grouse that I ought to write "Ms. Kindergarten" and "Ms. First Grade" to tell them how wrong they were when they "fought" with me incessantly day in and day out and told me what a "failure" my child was because he didn't excel at sitting all day long doing worksheets.

Oh... you bet I am :-)


I really don't think I've ever had anything in my entire life bother me like this has... and I feel like I need to let them know how they could've very easily done a lot more damage (than they already did!).... but telling them, constructively, of course!

Well, the sad part is that he still does have reservations about what he's capable of accomplishing.
