We are in Georgia. Luckily GA has full funding and a great policy, including acceleration, mentorship, and enrichment. Unfortunately, when DS was tested in 1st grade he did not qualify for the GT program. It has been a real struggle the last two years, this year being the worst. He reads all day, cries if we forget his book, and his teacher has told us that he is "nothing exceptional".
That's why we decided to get private testing. Now we have all these scores and we're trying to get somebody to look at them to help us!
Frustrated in GA.
