I try not to ask about the academics because they're usually so lame it just makes me mad! Sigh
She has a one-day-a-week gifted pullout program and on that day we get a two-page typed sheet detailing everything they discussed, queried, thought about, watched, read, researched, designed, built, as well as ideas to take things further - it's bliss!!!
