[quote=Anonymous]there's no way to talk about this topic without sounding like a jerk so I will not eve try. Rest assured that I in no way think that my child's giftedness means anything special about me or my parenting. that said. I have a child who recently turned seven and is finishing up her first grade year. Her IQ is well over 160. she isn't bored in school exactly, but she certainly isn't challenged--she basically just reads a LOT about whatever she feels interested in that particular day after she spends 5 minutes on the class work. She was bored out of her skull during group lesson time and then we taught her a bunch of games she can play with herself--math games, name a book that starts with each letter of the alphabet, etc--and she is less bored now. She has friends and enjoys imaginative play with them. At home she reads. A lot. Mostly what she does is read.
Anyway, my husband is considering accepting a job in DC that he would really love to take.The offer just came in. We are trying to figure out where to start with a school for our daughter. Our 2 other kids are pretty easy-well, one is a baby, and the other is a happy, busy kindergartener who thus far is totally, blissfully average.
Any thoughts? School districts? Private schools MIGHT be an option if we had grandparent help?
Thank you,
