Our issue was that the school was not seeing my son as gifted, despite his test scores, and therefore was not willing to differentate for us. In fact, his teacher said to me that there are gifted taxi cab drivers - my guess is because of teachers like her who did not look into why someone's ability tests were so much higher than where they are performing and appropriately challenging them.
I am so proud of my son's reading level despite what the public school was doing to him. Imagine what he could have done if someone was there to encourage him more.
Well, need to make our dinner. We are only eating ramen noodles these days so that we can afford the private school.(joking..)
