Contrast this experience with my older DD (MG). She was an early reader and started school in PreK at age 4:3. She was reading easy readers at that time. She is a very social and highly verbal child and her teachers love her. She quickly made friends with other girls in her class.
She enjoyed K just as much (ironically with the same K teacher who later excluded DS) and was the top performer in the top reading group.
She has enjoyed first thru third grade at the public school because she loved being with her friends. Writing has been a challenge for her so she doesn't finish her assignments too quickly. She has been free to pursue her talent area (reading) at her level in her free time.
Her teachers have recommended her for GT screening. Especially her third grade teacher has recognized that DD is verbally gifted and also strong in math.
DD loves going to school and would hate to miss a day.
