Thanks!
[quote=Dottie] When we were there, they did NOT highlight kids per subject, rather just listed all of the winners, and called them up individually. I remember being slightly miffed that DS was NOT recognized as a dual winner,
.
LOL. Actually, in my case I would prefer that they don't highlight the subject.
[quote=Dottie]As for the math, I think it's really hard to say at such a young age.
I know what you mean. All the math up to Algebra is rather basic so I am not persuaded that DS actually has long term math talent despite the school district's achievement testing results showing that he tested well up to three years ahead. I associate math talent with a visual spatial bent and DS is the opposite of visual spatial. He has so much problems (better now) with spatial orientation that he had trouble distinguishing between "b" and "d" even when he began reading Harry Potter level books at age six. Even now he still has trouble distinguishing left and right. I think DS will be fine with Algebra (was able to solve 3-step single variable equation intuitively before he was subjected accelerated this year) However, I think he might well encounter difficulties with geometry and trigonometry. One main reason why I am interested is so that I can decide whether further acceleration should be considered or whether we should steer his focus toward a different path.
