Thank you for all these posts. I found these more informative than anything else I have read here. Probably because this is what confused me the most. CFK's and delbows comments seem to mirror my own thoughts and it also makes me look back at my own history where I skipped two grades and had subject matter acceleration in addition. But I lost my motivation as friendships and having a society was important to me.
I am hoping that having the specific elementary school geared to the gifted and having enough kids that motivate her will not create the temptation of keeping herself back.
That is the other thing. If Ruf's right about the number of Level 5s out there, there should be a lot of them in NYC, based on population, demographics of HG parents. The gifted elementary school head of admissions didn't seem to think there was that many.
