[quote=Anonymous]Maybe your daughter doesn't belong in the gifted and talented program for math. Those who excel at reading and writing rarely also excel at math. This becomes most apparent in third grade when division and fractions are introduced and the coursework gets harder. My DS was extremely good in everything until about third/fourth grade when his math grades slipped. He reads, writes, and understands languages extremely well, but math just isn't his thing. My DD is the opposite. You can do all the supplemental activities you want, which will help her to at least be proficient, but either it clicks or it doesn't. Gifted and talented programs should split in the older grades, one track for math/science the other for reading/writing.[/quote]
