[quote=Anonymous]Many of the issues, which you are writing about, concerned us, too. After looking at the options - public and private - we ended up at a private school, which specializes in gifted children. About Thanksgiving, we hit a hiccup with our son, who for the first time had to actually struggle to learn something in school. He actually said that he wanted to go back to homeschooling because he then came to school knowing all the information already. We've had to really reset his expectation of what school is - a place to learn, not cruise through the classes. We've had to actively work with him to understand that not knowing something did not mean he was a failure. And, this attitude is coming from a fairly young person. It really taught my husband and I that those cruising behaviors started early. BTW - the school is Feynman School and it is in Bethesda, if anyone is interested.[/quote]
