I'm not done holding my breath, yet.  Raising Sean was tough, because he always thought he was smarter than me.  and his teachers and everyone else.  The problem was, I taught him to use the library card catalog as soon as he could read.  If he disagreed with someone, it was off to the library to do research.  Funny, when Sean made copies of reference material in disagreement with the current textbooks, he got labeled a smarta** and blown off by the teachers.  Who, of course, had to call me and tell me about it.  Unfortunately, my opinion was why they didn't check out his research instead of teaching mindlessly from the schoolbooks?  Unsaid was my opinion my son IS smarter than you, Ms. Teacher.  How else could a 10-year-old get the better of you on your own terms?
