Double Perspective
We have a nine year old boy with an IQ of 139 who does well in all his subjects. Two mornings a week he goes to the school's gifted and talented program which he likes very much. He knows all the work in his regular classes. It may challenge the other students, but it is boring for him. He has become somewhat of a behavior problem by making faces, dropping his books, teasing and calling out answers. The school suggested an evaluation to which we gladly agreed, hoping that they would realize that a more challenging curriculum would motivate him and stop his silly behavior. Imagine our upset when the school psychologist suggested therapy instead! We have not agreed to this because we feel that the right kind of education wilt correct his behavior. We have lost all faith in the school. Could G/C/T please publish a list of public and private schools for gifted children?
