Where do you think kids like this belong? Like I said, she entered K six years ahead in reading. Even your standard gifted program wouldn’t be a challenge. At least a good K program is fun. She never, as far as I’m aware, sat through a phonics lesson. She could read about any subject that interested her. [/quote]

They certainly don't belong in regular classrooms.  Most kids like this are in self contained gifted classes, in private school, homeschooled, doing online school, or grade skipped by a few grades.  Being mind numbingly bored for 7 hours each day isn't good for anyone.  Most teachers would not be okay with having a kid sit there learning nothing all day because she is leagues beyond any other kid they've ever taught.  I find it astonishing that the psychologists who tested her and her teachers didn't have suggestions as to how her educational needs might be met.  I doubt they all thought that a kid who is such an outlier would be fine in a mainstream classroom.  [/quote]
