[quote=Anonymous] OP, it's not cool to put down other people's children. I have a gifted/learning-disabled child. In the classroom, his work and behavior spans the gamut between cognitively challenged and brilliant. The teachers don't really know how to approach him, and I am looking at what our Montgomery County public school system has to offer: either the regular gifted program or the gifted/learning disabled program, which ever's a better fit. Be careful how you choose your words and your tone. You don't want to seem dismissive or unkind. Every child has something interesting to offer, and that's not celebrating mediocrity. Don't label unless you must. Emphasize hard work and effort instead of grades and scores. Every child has to work hard at something, even the profoundly gifted ones - for them it will often be social interaction that's hard work. [/quote]
