[quote=Anonymous]As a parent of a child heading to Deal who has tested FSIQ 130+ on the WISC, I appreciate the question and pity those who snark. Having a gifted kid isn't always easy - they can be more difficult to parent and there is plenty of worry about what school experiences are right for them. There is a ton of academic literature on how to educate gifted kids, their tendencies towards underachievement, the higher correlation with learning disabilities, depression, anxiety, etc., and issues with relating to peers. Just because our kids can memorize math facts better than others doesn't mean that we parents can't have legitimate concerns about their education (and happiness). [/quote]
