"If he's so gifted, then why is his fly unzipped?"
lol, Grinity! With me, it's their search technique. If they're so smart, why on EARTH can they be staring RIGHT AT the thing they're looking for and not see it, while I tell them, right there, no, turn, no, look, down, right there by your elbow!! It's like they become selectively blind. thank you for the library info, btw...and for the suggestions on what to say. I'll have to write it on the back of my hand or something! :-)
And Kriston, about the homeschooling groups...I tried to find a local one the beginning of this year on my BIL's advice, and didn't find an active one. But maybe as I wade deeper into these waters I'll find something. I'm already amazed at the things I didn't know were out there...and that I didn't know I didn't know! All the acronyms for tests I haven't heard of are impressive.
