Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Parenting and Advocacy Need advice: parent co-op problem (long)

I'll have to discuss that possibility with her. She said she wants me there. In fact, my presence (as much as possible, given the circumstances) was initially one requirement for his being in the class. The goal was for me to keep an eye on how he was doing so I could pull him out if he became a problem. He's not a problem (not if you ignore him completely!), but she made it pretty clear that she thinks I should be in the room.

My thought was that I would be in the room, but wouldn't speak for him. I can help him understand, but he's on his own in terms of participating.
