[quote=Anonymous]I suppose I was gifted. Skipped a grade, put into TAG programs, etc. One problem was that I moved a lot and my parents didn't really push for me at each new school so I wasn't usually identified quickly as a gifted kid. So I skated through school and wasnt really challenged. When I got to college I had problems because I had absolutely no idea how to study. At all. So, I had mediocre grades. I was so usd to just floating through school because it was easy. My experience has led to two things that stick out in my head: 1. I will keep them in one school system so they know my kid and 2. I am a strong advocate for my kids. Not necessarily just for gifted services, but if I see a need for any sort of help or program, I make sure we are heard (and evaluated, tested, whatever).[/quote]
