A thought for parents here:
Can you imagine having ALV as your child's teacher? When you meet her at open house at the beginning of the school year, she's all smiles, warm, friendly, just like many of us felt about the expert witness when she began her testimony. Turns out that it's clearly her way or the highway and that she will not budge when discussing your child during parent/teacher conference. ALV would make up her mind and tell you what she thinks about your child, his/her strengths but probably mostly weaknesses, and completely disregard anything that you have to say. I sincerely hope that none of you have experienced or will ever have to deal with this type of teacher, but carp happens. :moo:
