I am happy to report 2 great weeks in the new gifted school for DS7! His new teacher LOVES him unabashedly and has already said she will be his advocate for finding appropriate teachers for the next couple of years! This is a first! Usually his teachers do not understand him or at best tolerate him. His challenging questioning argumentative behavior can be so draining, but she knows how to nip it in the bud. She said that he is not the student taking up all her time (which he always has been in the past). The best part is that he loves it! The strangest part is that his handwriting is beautiful!! I think he was previously so bored that he rushed through his work to get to read his book or play on the computer. Now he calmly takes the tests, does the worksheets, and completes the homework neatly. Amazing and unexpected side effect! Nan
