Willa Gayle,
I know the question wasn�t addressed to me, but I wanted to share our experience with my daughter. When she was in 1st-2nd at the public school, I suspected ADHD or CAPD. The teachers and school psych thought I was crazy!!!! Then I told them that I also wanted her grade advanced and they felt sorry for my daughter having to live with a paranoid mother!
Fast forward many years and a few different experts including private ed psyche, a developmental ped, and the ed psyche dept of a large university have all confirmed that she definitely has some 2e issues in the realm of my first instincts which at least one expert considers significant. We haven�t gone to the final referrals because she is still an A student.
Anyways, the negative side effects of the 2E stuff were minimized immediately when we switched schools and she was grade advanced at 8 years old. Leaving a school without wall didn�t hurt either, I�m sure.
