[quote=Anonymous]OP, I can relate. I have a similar kid. He actually does have ADHD and a learning difference along with the high IQ, but knowing that doesn't make it easier! I ended up homeschooling him and then putting him in a private. He is a kid with true intrinsic motivation--left on his own, he will research his interests and read and write all day long. He was driven to depression (not exaggerating) by public school. Granted, a big part of this negative experience was the lack of support for the LD but a HUGE part was lack of interesting material on the other side.

As for AAP, I have two other kids in AAP (your typical NOVA "above average" kids... not what we used to call gifted). They enjoy school well enough, mostly for social reasons, and are doing fine. I'll concede that AAP at our school has more variety  of approaches and assignments than Gen Ed but it has no lack of worksheets. It probably has even more because they are moving faster in math and have to drill it somehow.[/quote]
