okay, I've been putting off posting this for fear of being flamed. dd had what is similar to oral exams at school, which will determine her placement for next year, and she has refused to discuss how she did with dh and I. I know she has discussed it with friends and teachers. She also won't tell us why she doesn't want to discuss it. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]
