We were actually under the impression that things were improving. His teacher hadn't mentioned anything since earlier in the year. Then this past week we've heard things like "at a loss" and "don't know what else to do" and my heart just sank. I'm definitely getting the impression that she can't "handle" him. What happens next? She asked for our suggestions and we actually said (among other things) that maybe a different classroom or school environment would help. For the first time the words "home schooling" came up in conversation with my husband and I. I have to admit this idea terrifies me. Meanwhile we're still not sure that he's actually gifted, just assuming that he is based on the NNAT. I can't wait till his testing in March. I just hope he and his teacher are able to hang in there until then and we can get some answers. Sorry for the long ramble smile
