[quote=Anonymous]I had one child who could do the homework of an older sibling when he was in kindergarten and first grade. His sibling was fourth and fifth grade. He was curious so he sat with us as I reviewed her math homework. I got him math workbooks at the teacher supply store so he could keep learning at his pace instead of the MCPS classroom pace. Finally, after multiple requests for assessing him to see what the appropriate level of math he should be learning, he placed four grades above grade level.

While my child was above grade level in math and quickly learned science subjects because of his high interest, he had several disabilities that impacted his ability to learn to read and write. We had to pay for private assessments to identify his disabilities and pay for a private tutor to implement the reading program the private assessment recommended. There wasn’t a good fit in MCPS for a child with extreme gifts and extreme needs so we eventually moved him to a small private school which could meet his needs better. [/quote]
