[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry, but it was meant to be aggressive. I'm really tired of how some parents of gifted kids behave on DCUM.  I don't want these posters to seem like they're representing me. They behave in a way that's belligerent and victim-like, and derail unrelated threads to talk about their .001 pctile kid, and it totally undermines serious discussion of gifted issues and leaves other posters rolling their eyes.

PP's reference to "all the animosity" in the other thread shows she's still oblivious about her own role on that thread.[/quote]

Please stop being aggressive.  It isn't nice or productive.  I haven't read anything belligerent or victim-like on this thread (or frankly, on the other one.)  You clearly have a different view, and that's ok, but let's keep the tone civil.

It seems are so angry that you not reading the posts.  If you read my post above (the one that references "all the animosity"), you would see that I am not in fact NOT talking about profoundy gifted kids, but rather the kids in the 130-140 range (this is 98-99%).

No one is claiming to represent you.  We are each only speaking for ourselves.   I think we are all trying to help our children in what is a very difficult situation for some of them.  I am so glad for the parents whose kids are well served.  Mine are not, and I really want the chance to talk about it in a reasonable way with someone.

OP, thanks again for starting this thread.  It sounds like you and I are having similar experiences in our otherwise-very-good private schools.  At the very least, it makes me feel better to know there is someone out there who is going through the same thing.

Signed,
