    Oh, I'm not talking about shutting her down. I'm talking about keeping her going! <evil cackle>

    I'm not usually a mean-spirited person, but saying that you're working for Satan is just too rich. It needs to be played along with!!!

    Of course, you did say she was a friend, so maybe this response would be inappropriate on my part, but I probably wouldn't be able to help myself. I hate smug and illogical people. Saying you're in league with the devil as a way to deal with a disagreement is both smug and an illogical, and it BEGS for someone (me!) to poke it!

    She's not a friend anymore.
    Actually I thing accusing a person of being possessed during a religous debate is pretty diabolical in itself.

    EXACTLY! I mean, it's a total conversation-stopper. And it just begs for a response that really DOES sound satanic, or one even more holier-than-thou than hers, or...

    The mind boggles!!!!

    I just wanted to add, as a mother of gifted children and a 1st grade teacher, that I feel that it is my job to meet eac child in my classroom at their level, especially in reading. I have 2 PG students in my class now and feel that I have been very successful at enriching their ed. this year. They have made tremendous progrgess and learned a little common sense and social skills as well. I often see gifted students whose parents want to skip them a grade (or 2), but do not realize that their education should be tailored to where they are anyway. These students also often need to be with same aga peers to learn social skills.
