Hilary, you sound EXACTLY like me. Those are the same thoughts that I have. I
feel so much better knowing that I`m not alone.
My daughter is 12 and this is our second year of H/S. I agree with the
"invisible" bullying that girls do. I`m sort of glad that my kid didn`t want to be
one of the airhead girls who follow the popular girls around.But at the same
time I want her to have friends and feel good about herself.

Last year I did the "school at home" route which got old really quick.I`m
more relaxed now but I still feel like I have to account to people about what
she`s learning. Right now I just want her to gain some self confidence that was
lost.She`s such a great kid; she likes to make things out of paper etc and she
really amazes me with her imagination.So what if she never learns algebra.

I work nights and when I drive home in the morning I see kids going to
school; I feel bad for them AND their parents because they`re missing so much time
together.

Thanks for letting me share................Lyn
