When I head to the school soon with my girls WISC IV results I would like to be also be able to take in a short inspirational article. I guess my rationale is if they find the Psych report daunting then I will balance it with something inspirational. I guess I'm after an article or quote or something that says "teaching gifted students is a blessing, a unique challenge full of rewards, has benefits to the teacher they will remember for a lifetime, will benefit the other students and be all round a wonderful opportunity and experience". The thing is, that is honestly how I view it but I don't think the school nor their current teacher sees it that way but maybe they might if I have it written by anyone other than me.

Hoping someone just happens to have something like that--> fingers crossed

I took this from our schools website:
Vision:
Achieving Excellence Together

Mission:
Challenging all students to achieve their fullest potential


Maybe your school has a similar mission statement that you could use to your advantage?
