[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our school doesn't start pull-outs until first grade.[/quote]

Oh my!  Think of how behind all the smart kids will be by then. . .[/quote]

You really don't understand what having a child who is truly gifted and has an insatiable need for knowledge is like, do you?   For some of us it has nothing to do with status or parental pushing and everything to do with special needs.  Please educate yourself on the Hoagies website and sengifted.org.[/quote]

actually, I do.  had a son who is off the charts and went through GT, taught himself how to program, very shy, difficulty in social situations, teachers always told me he was gifted.   but in kindergarten, the last thing I was worrying about was how to get him labeled as special and different from other kids, which I think can be harmful when taken to the extremes some folks on these boards like to take it to.  It will look very different to all these worrying kindergarten parents when your child is looking at college, applying for a job and finding their way in the world, which surprise doesn't bend over to make allowances for your special, gifted, attention-issued etc. kid.

if you're worrying about pull-outs in kindergarten you have a long road ahead of you[/quote]
