[QUOTE="Kjs, post: 30569"] My difficult child's elementary school, counselors, teachers were wonderful. Even though there were no "challenging" educational classes for him, they sat husband and I down and told us that difficult child processes information differently. They (gifted children) do not realize this and assume everyone process information this way. The older they become the more they realize they are "different". Not wrong. Middle school is such a struggle. Others think he is "weird" for his way of thinking, his way of processing. classes are set up for the "normal" child. We remind him quite often that he may think and process information in a different way, that does not make him wrong. A lot of anxiety goes with this. We see more and more of it as the years progress. He is at his best when in a regular class, and a teacher willing to give more challenging work. [/QUOTE]
