[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ugh. Who the F is testing young kids for giftedness? Fire 'em.[/quote] The Op is. Being an early reader is not really proof for or against being gifted but it's often used in the parenting a gifted child arms race.[/quote] An early childhood teacher told me that early reading is a sign of some problems. By early, I mean 4yo. My child's 6th grade teacher harassed us on 'back to school night' - I know you Upper West Side parents really want to brag that your children are reading King Lear or Macbeth but I am here to tell you THAT IS AGE INAPPROPRIATE. And stop doing their homework for them because at this point they need to learn how to fail and how to pick themselves back up. This window closes very soon and you will be doing their homework for the rest of your lives if you don't stop NOW. I loved this teacher. The kids hated her. But years later, they never forget her.[/quote]
