Hello,
My name is Desiree and I want to cry! My son is gifted and I have been dealing with opposition from the education system his whole life. I have worked hard to provide him with enrichment opportunities, such as travel, reading materials, interesting exhibits, anything and everything to give this child a leg up. Now we're coming to the end of his freshman year in highschool where he is getting a C-. (first low grade in his life). His other grades are A's and B's and they dont think there is anything wrong. He processes so slowly, and methodically and he just can seem to keep up with pace of the classes. When he takes non timed tests he is off the charts, when tests are timed he blows it. I can't get anyone to listen! I am so frustrated.
