[QUOTE="oceans, post: 30449, member: 2687"] My son was tested for the gifted program in second grade and made it. This was before the "major" problems started up. He did well up until 5th grade with the academics, but in third grade he was having major issues with the teachers and other students. In 4th grade, the gifted teacher took him under her wing and worked diligently with him. In 5th grade he only kept up his grades because the teachers sent his work home to be completed. In 6th grade he started stimulants, and everything went downhill from there. He started failing everything in 7th grade. We got him the IEP at the end of 6th grade. We did not do gifted classes in the 9th grade...we knew that he could not handle it, even with his high IQ. He is now in a therapeutic school and finally working again. He failed most of ninth grade this year. I am interested to see how does in school now that the medications are working. [/QUOTE]
