I'm not concerned about D and F, the difference between real friends and the other kind is something everyone learns the hard way.

I'm concerned about D and T. I think T is prone to favor some kids and disfavor others, and to make classes unhappy for those she disfavors.

Even that I wouldn't do anything about, except that for D to excel at, and to like, this specific subject is very important to me. I'm not concerned about D's grade, I don't want her to get an "A" while hating the subject.

Well, wife has already met with head of the middle school who is talking to both D and F, and I've emailed T that I want to meet with her tommorrow. So the ball is in motion, I just have to decide how hard to kick it.

Sitting at O'Hare trying to get home tonight, tommorrow is going to be a hectic day (just see the market this week), not thrilled that this has come up.
