A lot of advice on dealing with schools, some of which we've seen parents give on this forum: Parenting Gifted Children: Is the New School Year OK?

As a future teacher of the gifted, I really appreciated the author's suggestions for parents, especially working with teachers. I love the suggestion that parents volunteer in their child's classroom so that they have a more accurate representation of what's going on with their child and the teacher. That way, all three can work together to figure out the best solution for the child.

I did (or thought I did) most of the things on that list...but I guess a bigger problem is that the school is not what it was promised to be so we're moving on... the New School Year was NOT ok, lol! I get excited when the library lets me know my books are ready for pickup...

OMG! master...I didn't know you had gone to OUR school! hahahahah! I get excited when the library lets me know my books are ready for pickup...
