Seriously, 7:15?  I have no idea where you got that I think life is difficult because my child is super brilliant. That's a pretty major projection that smacks of envy along the lines of "no one should be so special."  If anything, I enjoy DC's brilliance and am glad that DC is gifted.   I mentioned that my own experience as a gifted child was not very positive, but I don't think that has to be the case for DC.  I'm determined to avoid the mistakes my parents made.  To be fair, they had little support and got bad advice.  One would think that 20 years on, there would be more and better support for EG and PG children, but apparently not appreciably so.

A number of posts on this thread confirm that there is probably no single educational institution in the area that can meet my child's needs -- hence the need for online support and supplementation.  It's nice to know that up front.

Thanks to all the constructive posters. [/quote]
