[quote=Anonymous]I am just curious do you have a child in the GT program? My ds (same as above) who has been in the program now for 2 years could not be happier. In third grade he said his teacher was his favorite ever. When I asked why he replied because we do lots of cool stuff. Yes there is alot more work but that is not a bad thing for all kids. He loves it. His schedule is plau outside for 2 hours come in and do homework for about 1.None of us find that a stressful schedule. Now does he complain sometimes about doing homework YES, but like you said he would not be a kid if he didn't.Now there are days when he will have a project due or a test and that will require more time but not that much.
 Now to my next son. You think we are pushing hime into this,but I would have to disagree. He had well above test score on the NNAT 140 and above average on the Cogat 126 to 129. The only thing he did not do so well on was his GBRS. His report cards have been higher then my other sons, he scored higher on the NNAT and yet we should not fight for him to have the same chance as my other son because of the opinion of one teacher?Oh I forgot we had him tested with the WISC and he received a 139. I feel that if he does not like the program we can always take him out,but why not let him have the chance to try it.[/quote]
