Ugh, frustrating about E's Problem 1 -- hopefully she will get some meaningful action or at least feedback from the people in charge. (Meanwhile, when stuff happened with my kids where people who I would've expected to know better were wrong, I tried to spin it for myself and for the kid in question as a valuable lesson in self-advocacy and being able to politely make your case to Authority when you're (probably) right and they are wrong, and all that other kind of stuff, which is valuable in its own right.)
They just took the third-trimester standardized testing and all of her students scored above 90%.
Wow, way to go Awesome Teacher!
(I have, annoyingly, had encounters with teachers who took "gifted school" as a hint that they therefore did not need to work as hard because the kids would teach themselves. It wasn't even necessarily laziness -- in several cases it was, but one teacher seemed to genuinely have this as a philosophy. That was at the high school level, so more maturity, but it was also an introductory Chemistry class, and, like, you've still got to teach them the basics, lady!)
So our family is gonna watch it tonight, and until then she has turned off Discord and google chat so no one spoils her.
