[quote=Anonymous][/quote] While this is sad, I hope you won't take offense when I point to the ludicrousness of someone moving to the 'burbs because their IB DCPS school didn't provide enough "challenge" for their "advanced learner" in fricking pre-school. [/quote] It's not as crazy as it sounds - this is a kid with a 140+ IQ who reads surprisingly well at age 4. The school has him tracing letters and numbers every day although he writes sentences. The parents are getting nowhere with the school and the kid has been pitching fits when they drop him off in the morning for a couple months now. A psychiatrist's report reads "he is normal but extremely bored half the day." He's a friendly, social kid. They're looking at private schools for gifted kids (one in Bethesda sounds promising) unsure that public suburban schools will work either. These are not helicopter parents, they're just not sure what to do. [/quote]
