[QUOTE="skeeter, post: 41114, member: 439"] Don't bait the mama bear!!! Seriously, this school (and many schools) really need to read up on gifted education and gifted kids. I just had a similar conversation with someone else. Do you know that a LOT of gifted kids wind up dropping out of high school? With this kind of "pushing" it's no wonder why. And if your son doesn't ever get to his "potential"? So what, it's just as important that he's happy! Someone riding him continuously isn't going to do that, either. The best thing we did for NL was to pull him from his gradeschool and send him to a private school for gifted but Learning Disability (LD) kids. It was extremely expensive, and we had to really sacrifice to do it, but it helped him emmensely. I wish he could have continued there, but his biodad refused, even though I was paying all the tuition. [/QUOTE]
