My name is Amber and I have a "gifted" son. I got the rec for Hoagies' website, and read through it a little bit. I still feel alone in this whole thing. I feel like my son is not getting the attention he needs at school.
His teacher is sending home homework that could be done by my 3 year old. When I asked her if this was going to be the norm, She acted like I hurt her feelings, and told me "well the homework is elementary, because this is elementary school" (not exactly what I meant by elementary... )
I just don't know what I can do to keep him enriched, keep him learning, without school holding him back. He's in first grade, but he is very young. He's only 6, just turned 6 in July. So moving him up a grade is not an option.
Just looking for a few pointers about dealing with school, and different things I can do at home to help him keep learning the way his brain is meant to learn.
Thanks!
