My DD9 was skipped into 4th grade last year, and with full GT services, it was a good fit. One year later, we're hearing almost daily: "I don't learn anything in school." Last night, DD asked us to plan a structured after-schooling program, so she can learn something.
We recently had the pleasure of learning from the principal that DS announced to a group of benefactors to the school that said school couldn't teach him anything. When we quizzed him on it later (because it seemed a strange way for
him to say something like that), we discovered a teacher at the table embellished the statement. He had been placed on the spot by the group when they asked what he was learning. He told us he said he only learns about 40% of the time. His "40%" comment rang as the truth. So
why would this teacher report to the principal our child said the school can't teach him
anything? I suspect this teacher doesn't like our child and wanted to take him down a peg.
Homeschooling is looking better and better.
