@twinsmama Oh my, that brings back memories of sitting in 2nd grade with that stupid box of SRA cards while my classmates made macaroni Christmas trees. How the teacher thought “challenging” me during art was appropriate, I’ll never know. At the time, I thought I must be stupid because I had to spend so much extra time with those cards. It wasn’t until much later when I found a report card that I realized she thought I was gifted.
As parents we were fortunate to have open-minded and flexible public schools for our children.
