Interesting admission, Herman.  Your dd did not *want* to
learn what you wanted to teach her.  Did she learn anyway?
If not, what makes you think the teachers in a school setting
can teach unmotivated average kids what you could not
get your own child who was bright, but not as bright as your
son to learn?
