Re: the giant post on giftedness. my dd is in a gifted program. there really is not much to debate - you have to have an IQ score over 130 and test within the 99th percentile. the entire program is 2 yrs ahead...which is great - but frankly is still boring for many of the kids who can be 3-4 yrs ahead. when you have a 3 year old who reads and a 4 year old that does full on math, these are not kids that fit into a normal curriculum.

op-not meant to be insulting in any way to anyone - but its really annoying when people think you are being arrogant when you are simply doing what other moms are doing - simply doing what you think addresses you kids needs. i hate having to pay for school - we moved for the great public school district in our area, but then we realized that the school could not deal with our kid. she is 6 and she reads these massive books (like 200 pages, Narnia etc), and the 1st grade (which is what she would enter) is only starting to learn to read...so what does a parent do? it's cool to have a kid that has any gifts or talents - but then again, we are sort of stuck having to provide special schooling for her.

There is simply no way you can talk about this without sounding ridiculous. My best advice is to find a group of similarly gifted children and talk to their moms. [ Reply | More
