DD6 took the WJIII Tuesday and the recommendation we got from the tester (a gifted specialist) was that if the school did not accelerate her this year, it would be detrimental for her to remain. And even if they do agree to accelerate her (and I'm doubtful they will) I'm not sure it will be the best thing.

So, I have been reading old posts, and I have a feeling I'll be doing that for awhile! I'm going to be looking at the posts/threads about curricula, social stuff, and of course, what you tell people.

I just wanted to thank everyone on this board for being so open about everything. I'm still pretty shy about posting (I don't think I ever offer much in terms of good advice), so that leads to guilt about not properly contributing (you know, I feel like I'm such a "taker"). Maybe if I say thank you over and over it will somewhat make up for my lack of helpful contribution? Doubtful, but at least it will ease some of my guilt and let you know that I truly, truly do appreciate your help. So, thank you, thank you, thank you! You guys are, as my DD4 would say, SO AWESOME!

And now I'll gladly "take" any advice anyone wants to offer about making this transition. blush
