[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Maybe. Maybe not. You are assuming that we haven’t sought professional support. We have. His sensitivity has not caused friction at his school, with the exception of one teacher who seems to be rigid in her expectations of the way boys “should” behave. I am frustrated and angered by the gender stereotyping. Believe it or not, private school teachers are neither uniformly excellent nor well-trained in dealing with gifted education. As for the previous poster assuming that schools have extensive experience with gifted children, I very much doubt their experience includes not responding to individual kids’ needs. The general expectation is that you’ll take what the school has to offer, not expect it to adapt to your child’s needs, even if all that is required is some degree of flexibility. [/quote]
