(Bitching about public school):

Her grades are acceptable, but not reflective of her ability. Her organizational skills are poor, but none of these teachers will teach her HOW to organize. She has trouble focusing on school work when other students are out of control. She can NOT tune out other children. She does not tolerate fools well, and does not handle teasing well either.

I don't understand why her teachers are teaching what they teach, how they teach etc. She is furious that she has to learn about Ancient Greek gods/goddesses; she is outraged that they use words like 'supposed' and 'allegedly' when discussing Christ.

Finally, she began having visions this summer. She has heard other children's thoughts about their parents' fights. She can see demons. One of her teachers (English/Reading/Homeroom and Homebase) is fascinated by ghosts. She gave my daughter a ghost story, which Maura KNOWS are demons, and told her to read it for class. I wrote back that my daughter has a vivid imagination and that she's not allowed to read those books. Mo did NOT want to read that book. It reeked of evil, and I made her leave it in the car overnight. Well, lo and behold, MANY selections revolve around ghosts. Guess whose classroom has demons in it? Guess who doesn't like my daughter?
