We have experienced similar at school, in community, and in our church. Its really hard for me emotionally and I try to shield my dd from it as much as possible.
Hopefully the gossiping isn't going on in her new classroom as much?
DD has requested that from now on when people ask about her giftedness/partial grade skip, I tell them that she is secretly an alien and that's why she is so good at math. I haven't had a chance to try this out yet, but I'm curious how it will play out. In the past I have been so supportive of the kids asking about dd's giftedness and I just can't give the "everyone learns at their own pace" speech again this year.
I wish I had something positive to say.
