EMAIL DETAILS

Really want to send...

No worries. I'll see you Monday at 10:30. Just FYI, we are really happy with Maisy's work, Maisy is happy and enjoying all of her classes. I understand that Maisy isn't one to show enthusiasm but Hunter and I have no concerns regarding Maisy's progress. Her work is improving as the year progresses and she is very focused on her homework. She does it without being asked and without support. To be honest, I'm a but exhausted by teachers not appreciating Maisy. She is an amazing kid with a real enthusiasm for learning. She may be a foot tapper, pencil bopper but she is a kind and generous friend to her classmates and I have never heard of her being rude or unkind. She is a special kid who shouldn't have to be defended. Honestly, Sidwell needs to expand beyond a narrow type of learner. Is Maisy learning? Yes! Is she progressing? Yes! Does she have many healthy relationships with students and teachers? Yes! Are some teachers frustrated at her style? Yes! Am I sick of defending her to certain teachers? Yes!!!! Let me say, "Sidwell continue to do your excellent job in teaching and guiding my children and we will continue to support at home."
