We were asked to bring research to the Gifted meeting and present different ideas.  That isn't what happened.  I brought research and one teacher told me it was garbage essentially because it didn't agree with her unresearched ideas.  I was so put in my place that I was angry all the way home.  It so happens that I had this teacher's child several years ago and she was always mad at me because her daughter should have been making straight A's since she was gifted.  I got more grief from her than any other parent that year.  Now she is a teacher and she still thinks I did her daughter a total disservice by not giving her all A's.  Therefore, any idea I have is trash.

I emailed the admin in charge and expressed my feelings this morning.  I don't know if I can be on the committee anymore.  I have done a lot of work but I don't need the anger from this teacher.  It is bad for my health.
