What about hiring a tutor to coach younger daughter through the aspects that make the GT program tough?
Aside from the tutor not being mom so she likely wouldn't yell at the person and cry
, what do you think we could get out of a tutor that I couldn't do myself? Her main issues with the GT programming are that she doesn't see the convergent answers and starts creating all kinds of new ways to approach the problem that are usually not what the teacher wants and that she's really inattentive to details and just checks out mentally and daydreams. Teachers usually don't notice her mental absence b/c she is well behaved and not physically hyperactive.
