WOW! I could have just about written this post myself this week. I have been going through the SAME thing here. My dd skipped to 2nd this year. I've got a neighbor that keeps going on about how her daughter also needs more at school, etc. (her dd is very nice but I'm pretty certain she's not gifted.) It's obvious to me that she doesn't agree with what we've done for our daughter and she's trying hard to choose her words wisely. It's really been rubbing me the wrong way. I kept meaning to post here on it and got busy. So glad you did. Now I'll finish reading all the replies.
