oh, donna...something else you mentioned. When your DD is not captivated, you just do the minimum, but we are having the problem that often she is not doing the minimum (worksheets) in class. There's no guarantee whe will do it for me. I'm also concerned that because we've had so much trauma already when it comes to school, that she would start to associate that with me if I was the teacher as well...

We are still trying to sort out if it's gifted and bored or gifted and "something else"...and I'm still struggling with the idea that she migh be so bored that she cannot make herself pay attention...that she might need work 2 to 4 grade levels above what is being taught at school (we don't know that yet, just an example)..


I get excited when the library lets me know my books are ready for pickup...
