We are having an interesting time. We have moved to another country, but DD12 and DD13, both in 8th, are attending an American international school. We have been told it's a tougher curriculum but so far both are achieving A's with no problems. We shall see. Both seem to like their geometry and language arts classes. They were assessed for math at the beginning of the year and have a few algebra gaps, but nothing too concerning. What is really lovely is that that both girls seem to have found friends quite quickly, boys and girls. As DD12 really struggles with social skills, that is absolutely amazing. The school principal was eager to email DD12's DYS letter about gifted kids to all the staff! That was exciting.
Another bright spot - 2 of the staff found out DD12 was a co-editor for a literary magazine last year (and is a whiz at creating videos). They are hoping she can help the high school kids!! Fingers crossed that this happens.
