[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If he is gifted why is he only getting "okay grades" in 2nd grade?[/quote]

The discrepancy between his capabilities and academic performance are the exact concern. His mental ability shows he should be achieving more academically than he is, which is why we’re considering either a school switch and/or ways to support him through MCPS.

Our hope is to stay MCPS but not sure if it's possible. Kind of hoping to hear some success stories from similar scenarios...[/quote]

A lot of people here have gifted kids in MCPS. I have one in 8th grade, and they have been getting 100% on almost every test since K. And they consider many of those assignment to be stupid, easy, waste of time etc. Very critical. Still, when they get a test, they make sure to do everything correct. This shouldn't be too hard to do in 2nd grade.[/quote]

I did not ask for someone on an anonymous message board to deny or validate his diagnosis. I asked for advice on navigating MCPS, if its even possible. Thank you. [/quote]

Mastery of simple material is a prerequisite for successfully learning more complex material. This holds for the dumb, average and brilliant; for kids and adults.[/quote]
