Dewdrop--No need to apologize. I get the same way at times with posting online. I do think it's absurd that your grandson's teacher is making such a big deal about the way he holds his pencil. He's only 6 for goodness sake. I feel so badly for your daughter and pray for peace for her.
Blonde--I think you'll enjoy Vale's book. So many interesting points he brings up. It really made a difference in my thinking.
Spedteach--I like "clean and sober" better than "alcoholic" too. I think that fear of being labeled and alcoholic keeps people from trying to get sober. My 8th grade teacher tried to get me to hold my pencil differently too. What a pain in the ass. I hold it between my middle finger and thumb and he insisted that I hold it between my pointer finger and thumb. It didn't make my handwriting look any better and it made me write slower, but it had to be done his way while in his classroom. Ridiculous.
Lav--I can picture you being an advocate for your son and telling the teachers a thing or two! :H Have a great day at Longwood Gardens.
Today is a lazy day at home for me. It's beautiful outside and I've got nothing on the agenda. Gotta love that!
