[QUOTE="DDD, post: 30791, member: 35"] easy child/difficult child, like four of his cousins in Florida, tested out and joined the gifted program. There was a HUGE difference in the so called programs for gifted. Where we live, our son had two periods a day with wonderful "think outside the box" teachers in elementary. In middle school they cut the "program" back to three hours a week and THEN...unbelievably...to sharing lunch in the media center once a month!! Good Grief! The other boys had either halfdays of gifted education or a full day at a central school once a week. Sad to say....all five of them have had "issues" with pot and/or booze and only three graduated. High IQ does not promise success or happiness. The key in my humble opinion is who is running the program and what goals are they setting. Good luck. DDD [/QUOTE]
