so, on the way home my son stated "mom I told my friend that he should go to gifted with me". I tried to explain to my son all the reasons why that may not be possible and why comments like this may make his friend feel bad. After my explanation my son stated "but mom, he has all As so he is smart; - with me people think I am not smart".
How sad is this? It is sad for the friend who the school will not test, sad for my son who is only in gifted because we could afford to privately test him, and sad that in 4th grade he thinks others think he is stupid (I assume because he does not have As?).
