[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 132826, member: 1233"] Ok. Tyler is really really smart. I know I made 3 requests in writing, sent certified for him to be tested and put in the gifted class. BUT...... The gifted teacher is a witch, and she only likes children who are similar to her grown sons in the nature of their "giftedness". Children who think outside the box, or are on a whole different level (not hard to be above her, not hard at ALL.) seem to feel hurt and angry in the class. difficult child felt this with her, as did one of his friends. Jess was treated horribly, in a very derogatory manner by this teacher. I am thinking we will do this at home, NOT at school. I just wonder if I should be pushing this??? Not sure what the long term implications will be. He may not be able to go to the Gifted classes in middle school and jr high if he is not in it in Elementary. I have gotten NO response from any of my letters, other than last year they told me they would test him. They did Occupational Therapist (OT) testing, but nothing else. I am just frustrated. I really am not sure he will do well with this teacher, but I want his options to be open for later. And the school says you are in it from the start or not at all. Sigh. Susie [/QUOTE]
