Well done

*sigh*

If I had chosen to respond as I initially wanted to I would have been upset and emotional- so I stepped back- and I still get grief.

I support and love my son deeply- I encourage him all the time- he hates school. He has NO desire to succeed and learn. I struggle constantly and the idea that a kid will simply bloom into that kind of self motivated person with the right amount of love and support is insulting to me. As if somehow I am just not supporting and loving him unconditionally enough- so instead of getting into that mess I simply said I disagree and take exception to some of her theories.

The hassle is not worth the effort.

On edit- I know her comment was not a personal barb directed at me- hence my decision to refrain from reacting to it. That is not passive agressive- it was being prudent in my response.
