Hi SwitchedonMom and welcome. I just sent you a p.m. Click on the flashing envelope, or go into "My Stuff" and click on messages.

Hi switchonmom - I read your entry a few days ago. Honestly, I just about cried. I called my friend and read it to her. I hope something can be done for your DD and quick.

As the blog post title notes, this happily is "history" and took place 2 years ago. However I'm blogging about it because it was so traumatic for our family and in a sense I want it exposed. When I went down this parenting/GT path there were few resources, Hoagies was in its infancy, no blogs, no stories. People need stories and need to know the truth about what happened in that program and about the experience of parenting gifted kids in general. That's why I write.

Ah I didn't get that part!! LOL!!! How are things going for C now?

Better. How do I get the damn envelope to stop blinking?

Click on it and read the message.

Thanks for sharing. I am grateful that today there are so many resources that keep all of us connected we can manage the information we need to try and prevent more situations like this.

So, don't leave us in suspense,,,,,,,what happenend?!?!?!?!?!?!

Thanks for sharing. You have a really great blog. I've been following it for quite some time but never left a comment. I know not a polite thing to do.

I'm sorry C had to go through all that. No child should be treated this way. What does she think about it now? Does she ever bring it up? How long did it take before you pull her out? As you can tell I am trying to get ahead of your story

LOL.

I love it.
