I also question how easy/hard assignments and homework are, considering my ds11 (in 6th grade gifted program) gets at least 90% in every subject every quarter (this includes several grades for each subject. (e.g. in ELA, they get a grade for language skills, reading comprehension, speaking and listening and writing composition). I can't figure out if he's doing really well, or if the work is just easy ?? Despite what I've been told over the years by his various teachers, I am still trying to figure out if he's gifted or a "high achiever".
