What happened over the past year?
- Confirmed via testing that DD is quite bright
- freaked out after the initial glow had passed and the reality of keeping someone with a preternatural ability to digest and synthesize knowledge engaged and challenged set in
- found this forum - enormous relief
- found great cognitive psych to help DD become more aware of her OEs
- learned a lot wrt gifted Ed in a hurry and got solid support from DD's teacher
- DD accepted to DYS
- learned *a* right way to get DD accelerated (thanks to this forum)
- DD now happily socialized with her new classmates - night and day pre versus post skip
Next year?
- Hopefully DD can take a breather from changes like skips for the time being
- hopefully the worst of the OEs are behind us (God willing)
- will sign DD up for the AoPS pre algebra class starting Feb (thanks ColinsMum for such detailed yet desiccated review of their geometry offering)
- fasten seat belts because who knows?
