[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Why would she struggle academically if she's genuinely gifted in math and science and she's in her home high school? I don't understand.[/quote] Because gifted kids who aren't challenged sometimes turn off. In theory, that's why these programs exist: Not to "get ahead" but to meet actual NEEDS. [/quote] Gifted kids also sometimes shy away from doing things they might fail at because they're afraid that failing will mean that they're not as smart as they thought they were. I'd tell her she needs to apply, and then, if she gets in, it is completely up to her whether or not to go.[/quote]
