JavaBean,
While we're not actually dealing with the school system yet, this is the same kind of feedback I'm getting from those I know within the system (teachers, board members), that they're so busy trying with kids on the other end of the spectrum that the gifted kids (of which there are very few that I have heard of) just fall through the cracks. I'm not sure exactly what we're gonna do when he gets in school and maybe all this will be for nothing if he's tested and winds up to be NOT gifted, but I have my doubts that's gonna happen, so I'm trying to be prepared for the harder route. We haven't even been to see our family doctor yet, mainly because I'm not sure what she will be able to determine about my son in a 10 minute visit, but I guess that'll be the first step.
Any other suggestions of what to do at this stage?
It's good to see other Canadians out there, but unfortunately we're all experiencing similar problems. I guess the gov't has to step up and start to recognize and accommodate the gifted kids with as much time and money that gets spent on the kids who need help.
