[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some questions you might ask her would be:

Has the school done a neuropsych. eval to make these recommendations? (the answer is prob yes, in which case you reply...) "and did the classroom observations by the evaluator that were described in the report line up with the teacher feedback you've received?" That might open her eyes a bit.

If the school or a private psychologist has not done an evaluation yet, I would recommend they look into getting one so that they have some information about where the behaviors are coming from.

[b]As a longtime educator, I can agree with the above poster that bored gifted children don't behave badly. Total myth made up by parents who don't want to accept that their child is a behavior problem.[/b] [/quote]

Shame on you. As an educator, you should know that children can be born with a high IQ (which is what gifted actually means), and also have a diagnosis (singular or plural), such as ADHD, autism, dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, etc. They are called GT/LD (gifted, talented and learning disabled), or twice exceptional children. One or both parents are often the same. It runs in families.

EDUCATE YOURSELF.
