[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Functions is not an 8th grade class. Why would you do that to your child anyway? What is the goal here?[/quote] Sadly there are 8th graders taking functions at Blair this year. Dumb choice and one that parents of the kids involved were not suitably informed about. No 13 year old needs that pressure.[/quote] "No 13 year old needs that pressure." +1 There's 100% those Young Sheldons who crave the challenge (like PP's friend's DC who qualified for AIME in 2nd grade), but I can't help but (cynically) think that most of these people are forced to by tiger parents.[/quote] There definitely are kids who are 100% gifted. That said, meeting there academic needs is only one part of the challenge. The bigger job is being sure to meet the social and emotional needs.[/quote]
