Yup. Barely there is still there.
Especially since she's functioning 4 grades ahead, she's clearly a good candidate.
Child is functioning four grade levels ahead in language arts, no wonder why she gives me a hard time about going to school. I am relieved, but exhausted and worried about schooling.
I understand how nervous you are about school for her. It's scary. But trust that you will find the way. Have you read the "Least-Worst" article on Hoagies yet? I highly recommend it. I go back and re-read it every time we have to make a choice about school.
http://www.hoagiesgifted.org/least-worst.htmI'd also suggest that you recognize now that even an educational solution that seems PERFECT may outlive its usefulness pretty quickly. 6 months to a year is a pretty normal life cycle, and that's disconcerting at first. ("Didn't we just go through all this last year? Gah!") More flexibility in the situation can extend that time. You might be one of the lucky ones who finds an educational solution that just works long-term, but most HG+ kids bring at least some head-scratching every year, even if the choice is ultimately not to make major changes. You get used to it. Honest.
Also, be assured that as long as you're doing the best you can do for your child, it will be okay. You will make it work eventually, and kids are resiliant. Try not to feel as if the weight of the world is on your shoulders. It's hard not to, but try not. You will find a solution that works.
