Sorry to hear about the difficulty that your son had in school, bluemagic. I totally understand. It's something to think about regarding it happening in a full day gifted program. I think it would be similar for my DS about the executive function that the teacher would expect and the amount of homework; I could also see there being trouble in group work which I think our gifted program has a lot of. Good point about whether they will accelerate within the gifted program because my DS is really high in math and the principal said that they would be doing "compacted math" which is grade 3-4-5 math while my DS is already doing middle school math and could most likely take it even higher if given the opportunity. She didn't seem willing to listen regarding acceleration. So frustrating on all accounts. At least I'm gaining some clarity. Thank you.
