I haven't felt as though the teachers appreciated the severity of my child's low feelings. On that same note, I'm not overly confident with a \"take it easy\" back to school approach, and feel as though the expectations for kids to simply resume their previous positions (commitment to learning, etc) are unrealistic. \nMy 15 yr old's school has been hit and miss with its support for home learning.
