[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]9yo DD here as well. Gifted but 2e, so profoundly gifted in some ways but not in others. Moreover, just a very academically oriented kid. Academics are her strength. She won't be well rounded. Her disability precludes her from excelling in sports or music. I have anxiety about her missing opportunities. Her biggest strength may just be doing well on the SAT at a young age.

I can't think of anything we should be doing now in preparation for college. She qualified for CTY, but it's too expensive to do anything. She reads at a high school level and will start algebra next year--though I'm not sure the point. We currently live abroad. [/quote]

I am poster above. When my kids were in middle school, they were placed in high school classes for math, science and language. I regretted them taking the placement tests - they did not bond as well w their middle school classmates as they did not have many classes w them. So in retrospect, i wished they had taken advanced classes. School didn't even weigh the GPA - not only were they in advance classes but in the honors versions! Double whammy w no upside![/quote]
