Hitching a ride on the vent channel.
I have found that as I progress through, there are many different channels that make me want to adapt or "fix" the path for my kid. School is one, but it turned out there was something else too.
If you don't fit the square peg, you just don't fit and it feels like you are climbing a sheer wall and wonder why.
I can quote IQ test scores, but my kid is going to be different from most kids described on this site and my situation is different. But what is similar is that I have decided to fight for my kid to have options. However that translates in the years ahead. And my path to provide options is different, due to circumstances.
I talked to a school today, I thought I would never talk to a few years ago. A Montessori for grades 5 & 6, because they were so open to accelerating her and they had Mandarin as a core subject, which works for me. Anyway, I was just venting. It is a pain to have a highly gifted child. Highly gifted in unique ways. But so amazing to have as mine too.
