[quote=Anonymous]Interesting- our child has a high iq and adhd but the testing place thought we needed to get the adhd under control before putting DC in a more challenging environment. I felt that more challenging work could possibly make it more interesting for our child, but I may never know, as the adhd makes completing work nearly impossible. It could also crush DC if executive functioning isn’t on par with IQ. Honestly, the curriculum is already light years beyond what I was learning at the same age. I think schools are pushing kids to perform at levels that might not be developmentally appropriate. My older child is supposedly getting gifted services and is surprised at what child 2 is learning compared to the curriculum dc1 had at that same age. They seem to be upping the ante all the time. I’m not convinced it’s good for kids’ mental health to be pushed too hard, fwiw.[/quote]
