Violet, thanks for fore-warning about testing inacuracies. That's a very good thing to know.
Catalana, Thanks a lot for for taking time to share your experience and offering practical suggestions. Congratulations on your DS's subject acceleration !
I feel terrible for not doing enough for my DD. Her 2'nd grade teacher at one of PT conferences said, my DD was writing at 5'th grade level, Her Math skills were 2 grades ahead aswell. But, she also said unfortunately the school doesn't make any distinctions and treats every child as "gifted". I just accepted what she said as complete truth and did nothing until recently when my DD started complaining about boredom.
This forum had been a god-send. Absolutely an eye opener! Kudos to all you parents for not only realizing your child's potential, but, actually doing something about it. I have leant so much reading the threads Than any other resource can ever educate me. Thanks so much all !
