I think we all (meaning educators and parents) need to accept that highly gifted kids rarely have true social peers. Each highly gifted kid is so different in interests, asynchronies and OEs that to find true peers would be very rare.

So what does it matter if they are with peers their age who tease them because they are different or with intellectual peers who tease them for whatever other reason??

Cran-my question about 2e and grade acceleration still remains. It got lost in the thread traffic, but I'm still curious about how you would handle that and how you would advise us to handle it.
