There is this woman who attends our ward and is also a reading specialist at the school that Brooklyn goes to.
About 1 month ago she was talking to me after church about how she felt Brooklyn had been disrespectful to her teacher by asking her teacher if a book that she wanted her to read was "up to her level." church lady says " I don't know why she thinks she is so 'above average' but to tell you the truth she is just AVERAGE. She must hear a lot of that stuff at home."
I pretty much just heard her say ... blah blah blah after the average comment! She is so not average!
This woman must not know me and my parenting style - like she thought she did. To tell me that Brooklyn had been disrespectful to an authority figure had my blood boiling and Don's too.
Like seriously - down play down play down play unless you really want me to beat the snot our of my child in the church parking lot! But what she was telling me just didn't seem like Brooklyn. But I wanted to drag her out by her hair and beat her senseless. We talked about it - well I talked about it - Don backed me up- - - all the way home from church. I made her write and essay on being conceited and pride.....yeah it was still better then beating her. I talked to the teacher the following week - church lady was wrong - teacher doesn't feel that Brooklyn had ever disrespected her and as a matter of fact Brooklyn is one of the top 3 students in her class, scored at a 10th grade reading level and 10th grade math level on their standardized MAPS testing last week.
TAKE THAT MEAN CHURCH LADY!!!!!!!!! MY CHILD IS NOT AVERAGE!!!

My Brookie is definitely not average! NEVER has been. Sheesh!! What is wrong with people!!
How could anyone be so mean to Brooklyn? Something is seriously wrong with that lady. She had better get out of teaching if she is so burnt out and says nasty things like that to children. Poor Brooklyn. Brooklyn is a genius if she is even asking that question. Some people don't question what they are going to read, and that is a lot worse.
Some people spend their whole lives trying to take others down a peg in a lame attempt to make themselves feel bigger. She clearly hasn't had any personal interaction with brooklyn and didn't give you the proper picture of her teacher's take on things either. She certainly wasn't saying those things to be HELPFUL!!! So therefore she is just a mean spirited person who is probably pretty unhappy herself.
