It was really only through Mummee and Daddee's nagging that she did <i>a little more</i> than was required of her for that day! Like I said, I do respect her respect for the teachers. I cringe at kids who disobey teachers, going down the path of "bad kids in school". Sure, you can question what is being taught but not question the authority.

At that age, a teacher's instruction dictates their world. To her she was doing what she was told. Perhaps if it was explained to her that the teacher has given her homework to keep her at pace with her progress but she can opt to finish ALL of her homework and that would free up her time to embrace her other interests, she might view it differently. At least she can then make up her own mind on what her options are. She is very bright you know. I honestly don’t think Caitlin is lazy on this.
