Thanks Crankin.

I'm just getting so tired of the excuses - from the adults!

I talked about it a bit with my principal today. Apparently, I'm goal oriented and driven and most of my peers aren't. I've got his kid in my room and he's just thrilled with how much progress the child's made this year. Nearly two grade levels in reading - nothing changed at home, parents weren't doing anything different... my bar is set high. And I don't lower it. I'll help build stairs and ladders to reach it, but it doesn't get lowered.
