Well dd7 got into the G&T program for next year. Part of me thinks it will help her to be more with children similar to her, but on the other hand I realize quite a few kids from her class will probably get in too and they are nothing like her. So that may not change her 'trying to fit in' approach to school. The good news is the teacher she will have has been a G&T teacher for many years and I'm hoping she will have some tricks up her sleeve to engage dd and teach her to challenge herself.
Thank you for the advice guys, I guess I kinda stuck my foot in my mouth on that one. At least I didn't tell her to just 'deal with it' like the husband did.
I was just going by what a friend and her dd, and how her dd is happier now in the G&T program this year. But I now realize what works for some may not work for all.
