[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 150861, member: 3444"] I have similar issues with difficult child 2 and easy child/difficult child 3. easy child is in third grade this year and gets in trouble frequently because she is bored. She's reading at a 6th or 7th grade level and complains that it takes the rest of the class forever to "get" things that she understands very quickly. So the teacher is essentially holding back her progress because of the lowest common denominator -- Know what I mean?? I've asked that she find more enrichment activities for her if she wants to keep her occupied and not causing more problems ;) I'm hoping she'll qualify for our district GATE (gifted and talented education) program, which would allow me to transfer her to the GATE magnet school near us where she would be more likely to get the kind of education she needs. We've already petitioned to move difficult child 2 there (he was already identified for GATE) since he's had so many social/behavior problems the past few years and none of his peers seem to understand him. He's almost off the charts for his verbal and very high also in his math abilities, so I think he'll also fit in better with kids that are more like him. They both tend to look at the world a lot differently than most kids their age -- which is great, unless you want to fit in! [/QUOTE]
