Dazed&Confused,
Thanks for the reminder about the here and now. I so often project ahead. It is important to keep that in mind. All my thinking ahead is just that--thinking ahead. There is no knowing ahead. I will try to just help him have fun with learning. Gotta stay interested and engaged first and foremost and we are way ahead on that since leaving PS.
Re. friends--I have been thinking about checking out a local HS coop. I think that is a good idea. We've been keeping up with friends on the weekend but it is not as much as seeing his buddies daily---
Re. the DYS program--DS is pretty even across the board--his VCI or PRI (I assume this means Verbal Comprehension and/or Perceptual Reasoning composite scores?) are 128 and 131 respectively. He did hit the ceilings on 2 or 3 of the subtests but I'm not sure it's worth retesting as I've read some people recommend. I'm afraid we may fall in that awkward in between spot. FWIW we have no gifted program in the PS here either.
Thanks so much for your thoughts. I really, really appreciate it!
