[blparent] My son's teacher

Frankly, it is bad behavior if a child disrupts a class, whether the child 
is gifted or not.

Jo Elizabeth

"How far you go in life depends on you being tender with the young, 
compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of 
the weak and the strong.  Because someday in life you will have been all of 
these."--George Washington Carver, 1864-1943, American scientist
