Hi Everyone,
I had been a lurker here and joined today just to vent in hope that it will be received well and will take some of my stress off.
I am a mom of DS4 who we suspect is gifted but yet to be tested for the same. His school is calling us to meet to discuss his issues. My husband and I want to remain positive and help him work through his issues in the school but it is very disheartening for us to hear his teacher go to great lengths about his negatives without talking about his positives even once. A part of me wants to ignore all his teacher is saying and think that his teacher dislikes him because he is so bright afterall he is the youngest in his class and is acting his age adjusting in the new class. I feel like shutting off my brain when his teacher talks and let it all go down the drain but not sure if its such a good idea. I feel like I am raising a kid with some sort of disability and am tired of pointing to people that he is acting like a bright boy which he is and why are they expecting him to behave like a bright girl.
sorry if I vent too long, just needed a listening ear, thats all
