Jen, I'm concerned that you may be feeling a bit jumped on here, which is not how any of us want new posters to feel, I'm sure, but you need to understand that many people here have experienced the frustration that results when teachers with lots of experience teaching average children think that means they know better than we do how our children's minds work. Since you have a gifted child yourself I'm sure that isn't what you mean. How about you tell us some more about your child(ren?) and about what it is you're hoping to get out of the forum? And welcome!
