Daughter chooses to be unbroken and realizes it

Daughter comes home from school and drops the bomb; she's ready to up her school time to half a day and she really likes her teacher. Woa.
Then, choked up she conveys to me how a lady came in and asked her to count from 2 to 10. Again. My daughter refused. My daughter was mad about it. I told her it was OK; she's going to school to be true to herself and learn how other people think. Sometimes knowing how the other half thinks is helpful.
10 minutes later she stands up and walks over to the couch as she states; "I have not been broken".
Woa.
