why why why

does it feel like my children who are outgoing,  zealous and intelligent are thumbed down by people who need a lot of order and quiet?

I often felt as a child unliked by my teachers.   I tried hard to show them I was smart and funny.  I was enthused by life and class.  Rarely did I find a teacher who appreciated my passion, embraced it and encouraged it. It seemed that 95% of the people "above"me don't enjoy my fervor.

I see this happening with my own children now.  Or is it I am sensitive to it so I see it more?

Why can't I conform? Why can't I be quiet? Its just who I am.

My kids its seems have the same lovely passion for life and learning.

Why must others squash this Is it because they do not feel listend to or honored when a child is moving around and speaking her mind?

My children are kind, caring and compassionate. They do not steal from other kids, they do not hit, they do not cuss...they are good kids.  They have a spice in them and it bothers certain personality types I fear and those personality types are often teachers.

hmmmmmmm

It could be me.
