[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think op is really just asking if her smart but underachieving kid will have a peer group to motivate her when she winds up at a lower ranked school. The answer to that is yes, but none of us can predict when op’s daughter will gain motivation to succeed in school. [b]Gifted is clearly a trigger for many here[/b].[/quote] OP, I think you can find more resources on JHU CTY website, including counseling services. They might be able to help with your specific issue. I first learned about CTY from a teacher who asked for a parent-teacher conference. The teacher saw that my kid was being bullied by some of her classmates. The kids' parents actually lodged complaints against my child that their average kids are being picked on. It was really ugly at that age - in elementary school. That was the meeting I first learned about JHU CTY. DCUM may not be the forum where you talk about gifted kids and problems specific to them.
