I don't think you have to stress "fun" in that way. (At least, that's not how I meant it.) The social is fun. Getting together with like-minded kids is fun, and is all too rare for GT kids.

OTOH, the math is challenging, and being really challenged is fun in a different way. Not a "life is a party" way, but rather an "It feels good to have to work" way. For GT kids, that IS fun!

As my DS7 says now that he is being challenged and knows how great it is, "Hard is good!"
