[quote=Anonymous]I'm the PP who was hung up on LotR.  Honestly, though, the part of your story that seems off to me is not that your child may have been tested at 6 years above grade level as a 4 year old, but rather that you would just shrug your shoulders, put her in regular school, and assume everything would be fine.  I doubt any parent would go  "... Hmm.. My 4 year old tests at the academic level of a 10 year old.  I'll just put her in regular K to learn letter sounds and counting."

Also, your insistence that she has a decent peer group in regular school is weird.  It's statistically unlikely that there's even another child in her class in the 99th percentile.  Even if there was, there's still a huge gulf between a profoundly gifted child and a child barely in the 99th percentile.

When all of this extensive testing and studying was done, didn't they have any suggestions for how your child's academic needs might be met?  I'm shocked that the psychologists in the testing study didn't give you any advice or resources for your extremely rare, outlier child.  [/quote]
