He is now failing to actually do work and turn it in. When he's told to show his work on math problems he says he's stupid and doesn't know how and its too hard. He is doing the very bare minimum in the other subjects and is now crying in class or just being down right defiant. Do we severely punish him? Do we put him in gymnastics like he wants? Do we keep fighting the school? My dd in 1st grade is at 100% in all classes and her teacher just emailed me about her taking the gifted test and for some reason that scares the daylights out of me. Do we put ds in a non gifted class? Its the only gifted class for 3rd and 4th grade.
