Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Twice Exceptional Questions about school and 'Santa'

Isa,
I apologize, I think I left out the main point about our discussions about Santa Clause. By talking about how everyone should be able to enjoy the holidays in their own way, we had several conversations with him about keeping his "knowledge" to himself or at worst saying that something was his belief or opinion instead of a fact.

It sounds like you have a good handle on the possibilities at the school and having a teacher that will work with you is a blessing. It sounds like you are way ahead of my on the perils and are making some positive changes to prevent the stituation from getting out of hand.

elh0706,

no need to apologize!

As for the school, I really hope the situation improves for DD soon.

DH and me will try to get the spanish psycologist to 'label' her 'especial needs' because then the school has to provide by law with whatever means are neccessary for her education. At least, in theory...

Interesting---What kind of special needs lable does your school accept? In the US some labels are good and some are malo.

good point T!

actually I read about those requirements in a text about the Dutch school system but it only said that since a few years gifted kids were considered esp needs as well.

In any cases, I want to see what the psy suggests about school and how to handle the situation, and then we will talk again with the teacher and maybe the principal.

As good a place to start as any!
((big grin))

who wants you to write the letter, even if you burn it instead of sending it. What does your DH think?
