[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Sadly your logic is flawed.  My genius (and that is documented) DC is being held back academically by your high achieving DC.  The curriculum is still moving too slow for the top 1% of the aap class, which cause many of these kids to derail because they are bored or frustrated with the rate of academics and check out waiting for your kid to catch up.  Meanwhile, your DC is a brown nosing, high achiever that many teachers love to teach because they are "easy" to have as students (behavior, not academic achievement).  My DC is bored in math because kids have failed the tests and are being given the opportunity retake them.  Clearly, these kids are slowing down the rate at which the material can be taught.

So, the curriculum is slowed so that your little snowflake can have a chance to keep up, which causes my DC to not receive the amount of academic instructions/rigor that is deserved.  Then my DC's executive functioning issue get worse because she's bored with the slow curriculum.  Finally, the teacher's who should be hired to teach actual gifted children are frustrated by my DC's disorganization and constant reading because my DC is checking out due to being bored.

Failed attempt....try again.[/quote]
Way to kick smug up a notch.  I think I can actually smell your BS through the computer. [/quote]

I'm not being smug.  It's the reality for my kid.  What's BS about anything I said.  My kid is like the one pp.'s described.  Extremely high IQ, intrinsic learner, motivated by her own desires to learn not to please a teach or earn a gold star.  Doesn't follow instructions that she doesn't see the value in, disorganized, obsessive reader.  If you have a teacher that doesn't allow for the quirks in some kids like her AND slows the curriculum for kids that need to review material multiple times than you end up with a more a traditional classroom which puts my kid back to square one in terms of a more appropriate learning environment.[/quote]
