    Nice. I didn't check for it. Those are distinct solutions. And it would make for a nice programming problem.

    PM me and I will provide c# code.
    I appreciate the offer, but I could knock the code together quickly myself and don't have need for it. I was tempted to do that before, but just decided to work it out quickly instead. Good work. I do think it would make a nice problem for a student.

I have probably sat in dozens of case conferences for over a dozen 2e children over the years. I have advocated for my 2e kids at both the district level and the state level, including multiple face-to-face meetings with our state superintendent of public instruction and members of our state board of public education.

    Thank you for introducing yourself. Nice to meet you. Almost everyone who frequently posts here are parents of gifted kids although there is one other regular poster who is a gifted teacher, not a parent, Beckee, and CAmom who is a parent but also is, of was, a teacher. You're the first k-12 teacher i've seen who has posted here who teaches 2e students. I'm pleased to meet you. Welcome here, from me, to you. I'm actually just a stay at home mom of two advanced babies, one will start school next year, we have a family history of advancedness. I don't know how long you've read this board before posting so I thought I'd introduce myself in case you didn't feel like you "know" anyone on this board yet. And, again, thanks for introducing yourself. And welcome.


    Thanks for the welcome. :-) I actually wear more-than-one hat when it comes to dealing with gifted kids -- I teach them, but I also parent them. :-) I have a daughter who will be a fourth grader in a self-contained GT multigrade 4/5 class after a grade skip (she started last year as a 2nd grader in a GT 2/3 class, but started working with the 3rd graders in November and will move on with them to 4th grade next year), another daughter who will be a 2nd grader in a GT 2/3 class (though she's more "high ability" in my eyes than "gifted" like her sister, but my frame-of-reference is definitely off), and a son who is three. I started posting here off-and-on with my parent perspective, but don't mind chiming in from time to time with the teacher perspective when I feel it may be helpful. Thanks again!

    Thanks to everyone--you've given me a lot to consider! I talked a bit in a different thread about the gifted/2e climate in our district (what little I know about it)--

    His teacher this year is a first-year teacher, fwiw.
