Did you mean "think it through", or did you really mean "use your imagination.". Because either way, no thanks. I'm much more interested in hearing the story of what really happened. I'm sure that's why I asked. Maybe by hearing the same thing won't happen to my children. So why would she not continue to the next grade level the next year? If she was telescoped or subject accelerated or whatever they call it one year why did they not do it again the next year? Did you switch schools? Did they come up with excuses? What reason did they give for such an unreasonable sounding decision? I mean I realize this was a decade ago so maybe things have changed, but maybe they haven't so I'd like to know. Especially since all the modern literature suggests accelerating gifted kids.
