frown So sorry to hear that blob. It's hard when you've been trying and it doesn't work out. I wonder what her reasoning was? Giving a benefit of the doubt, perhaps your friend thought that they might not be able to work in a group setting with the disparities in ability? Not knowing the situation, it's hard to say, but is it a possibility?

As time has gone on I have been more and more convinced of the fact that some people just can't seem to cope with any signs of giftedness. I am s.l.o.w.l.y coming to accept that it's actually more about them than it is me. Others are great! I was talking to a (different) friend on the weekend about my son and admitted his giftedness (we were talking home education talk. And she was lovely. She did say, however that anyone who spent five minutes talking to him would know! smile

I guess what I'm saying, blob is commiserations, it's not fair, it might not have much to do with you at all. And I hope it gets better.
