His teacher called the meeting because she felt my son seemed depressed in class - he was putting his head down on his desk instead of reading, he was not engaged in the lessons, he was crying if he made mistakes, etc. She said he is different in his gifted pull-out, but that makes sense since he has almost one on one interaction with the gifted teacher.
Oh Kec,
This is so sad to hear!
Doesn't Pennsylvania have some kind of legal requirement to meet the needs of gifted children, and some kind process if the parents feel that the school just isn't doing enough?
Have they given him IQ and achievement tests? Can they place him in Math and Reading with other kids at his readiness level?
Love and More Love,
Grinity
