thank you
and I'm thinking I agree. for sure, all my other PARENT friends (of gifted and nd) are saying listen to the child. And I agree, why does every adult think they need to exert their "authority" over the child? Isn't it enough to KNOW you are bigger than them and have power over them?
I do feel like I am getting contradictory advice from the school...you labeled my child as "different" but you persist in treating her "the same", that's very confusing to me, right?
Right now, her input is that she wants to be in the straight 3rd grade, with her other friends and the "better" books, but the school is SUPER RESISTANT to that...I think choice number 2 is an online homeschool.
If a kid is BEGGING for a change, how can it be wrong to give it to them?
