CFK - I can't speak to this point because there are no agreed upon definitions of giftedness or of the levels of giftedness. I certainly appreciate that a Level 5 kid has educational needs that a level 3 kid doesn't have. But I also think that it's a terrible shame that all kids don't have educations that challenge them appropriately - the level 1 kids I think are terribly short changed.

Isn't it tricky not to mess of the family dynamics over a kid's special needs, while being flexible enough to try and accommodate to the best of one's ability? Such a balancing act we walk, yes?
But this balancing act develops the 'mom-gut' confidence over years and years, and that has been quite a comfort to me.
