[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. To be clear, DD does not have a learning disability, does not have anxiety, and does not have a low processing speed. Those were just examples I used in response to various questions such as to what I meant by "emotional support" for gifted kids. DD does tend to be a perfectionist who sometimes avoids doing (or turning in) work because of a fear of making a mistake. So, yes, it would be great if she had some teachers who "got this," as opposed to teachers who just assume she isn't capable . . . . In terms of privates, my understanding of most privates is that they also don't want to teach beyond the norm - that they want kids who are all pretty similar and don't want gifted kids unless those kids are also highly focused on academic achievement (and thus have a good chance of getting into an impressive undergrad program, thereby bolstering the private's reputation).  I guess I'm really cynical at this point.[/quote]
So you are just saying all her issues are due to the fact that she's "gifted"? I have to roll my eyes at you. Sorry.[/quote]
