HK, thanks for your candor. You have hit the nail on the head. We met with the school counselor a while back and she told us, without looking at his scores, that DS was in good company. Plenty of kids in his class just like him. She said we live in an area with lots of well-educated parents with very bright kids.
Val, I think she is bound by the county-wide curriculum. It almost seemed like she had a book of activities she was pulling from. She acted like she would work to select a few more hands-on type activities from her book. She did tell us that she and the other GT teacher were just discussing how it's such a shame there's no math or science included and how they wish they could change that, but are powerless to do so.
