[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem isn't just IQ. It's also personality.  I was a calm, introverted, highly gifted child who just wanted to be left alone. I thought school was a complete waste of time, but I didn't complain. I just did my work as quickly as possible. When I finished my work, I was happy to read quietly.

My son is like my husband -- profoundly gifted, extroverted and high energy.  When he's bored, he is going to ask a million questions to find the interesting part of the lesson or he's going to find a way to entertain himself. This is very disruptive to the class.  We do our best to coach him on coping with boredom and with finding class situations in which he will be less bored. [/quote]
I think it is odd that so many people on these boards think their kids are gifted or highly gifted.  Seems like everyone is.[/quote]

Yup, strange that all the outliers live in this area. [/quote]

This area drives me crazy sometimes...  We are willing to give MCPS a go for our average child - but we may re-evaluate at some point if needed.  I just feel like the pressure is so intense to "be gifted".[/quote]
