Thanks HighKick Dancer...you sound like a sensible, intelligent parent who has the best interest of her child at heart. In all fairness, I must say that most parents are well-intentioned,if somewhat misguided, but you seem to be the dream parent that all teachers want. Would you consider moving to my town? HA! Sometimes life is about choices and we must all realize that we may be able to "have it all", but maybe just not all at the same time. Your attitude is a breath of fresh air for us frazzled teachers...thanks again! I know your daughter will do well in life with such a fine example to follow.
