[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 253528, member: 3444"] Susie I think she is very even handed with her own kids, or at least she's good at making us all think she's that way! Yes, GATE is the Gifted And Talented Education program. I don't know if he could keep up with the pace at the middle school level. He barely gets by now, and I do have the leeway to shorten some of his assignments. But I tend to push him. Maybe more than I should. Taken as he is TODAY, for some things, yes he probably could handle the workload. Who knows, if we get his medications finally right and he's more stable, he might do just fine. He had no trouble at all with school until about the 4th grade -- and that's when his mood disorder and his movement disorder hit him with both barrels, causing everything to fall apart. He's definitely able to handle the advanced concepts. We may need to modify the workload. That's one of the things we'll be discussing at his IEP meeting this month. I just think he'll fit in better with the kids there. Right now, the elementary school clusters the GATE kids with high acheivers. And some of those kids just do not "get" difficult child 2 at all and have no tolerance or patience for him. I'm finding that most of the GATE identified kids in his class just accept that he's different and let him do his own thing. They know he's not a mean kid, he's just marching to a different beat. I figure we can try the GATE middle school, and if that doesn't work out, I can try homeschooling him until highschool. I'm hoping, though, that he stabilizes more between now and then, and things will start to improve across the board. I hope, I hope, I hope! [/QUOTE]
