It's good that she has a teacher who can see those things. I don't think it would be surprise that your daughter is probably more of the exception than the norm. The fact is the "norm" just learns differently these days and teachers who aren't able to accommodate both styles are doing the students a disservice as much as we would hope the old way would work just fine. As you fear, the more new teachers that come out of university and embrace the new ways (ie technology heavy), there will be fewer and fewer students like your daughter, and we desperately need minds like hers.
