sorry for the very brief initial post! nutcracker season is really taking it's toll this year. With both kids participating, I am just wiped out! (they are fine, of course)
to your original question, I think I probably fall about 1/2 way between feeling that school was an ok fit (it was ok/good some of the time) and feeling that there was something wrong with me, but I think this latter is mostly due to many pointed comments from other kids about how there was something wrong with me!
dh is a firm group 1 guy, unfortunately, not sure how he made it through college. He is one of the extra-large egg heads, he was ok until about 3rd grade and then everything 'went to s**t' as he puts it. He has DEEP fears for ds10. So far ds' boat has not capsized, but come VERY close a time or two, to be sure. I think dh is beginning to see that we will just have to play everything by ear from here on out (like we have been). Not rely on the school ever getting it just perfect...well maybe Grad school.
...ex: I applied for ds to be re-reviewed for gt program on math side of things, but decided to just move ahead with algebra this year with him. (Really seems to be sparking his math brain back up, he is having fun!)
