Thanks Cathy, DS usually does do his first draft on the computer and than handwrites the final. I have asked for the rubrik but did not get anywhere. In an email I just received (after my first post) She said that all of her gifted students were struggling with these assignments but the rest of the class was doing great. She included a line saying that the gifted students needed to learn they weren't so smart anyway.

Based on this email, I think I'll forget about talking at the conference and go straight to the Gifted Coordinator. It sounds to me like there may be some other issues at play here. Steam coming out of my ears at the moment!

Squirt, I agree with you! I think I'll need a seperate meeting for this one.

Thanks all
