The children become more strong by doing so.....And they can handle stressful situations more easily later...The parents should make it a lesson to train their kids for this even from the small age...from his <a href="http://www.sunnybrookschool.com/student-life/leadership.html" rel="nofollow">junior kindergarten</a> itself!!!.....

I meant, sometimes even the very first time you meet parents - at Meet the Teacher night - some parents want their child to read or impress the teacher with their giftedness. The GT teacher is responsible for qualifying students. But yes, I have seen students qualify in 3rd or 4th grade and yet they repeated Kindergarten. It is wonderful when a parent asks that their child be retested - especially when the outcome is that they will be in the GT program.

I was placed in the G&T classes and was still bored. I got in trouble because the teacher had to follow the curriculum and I was bored with doing things I had already done. The teachers didn't believe me, even though I could show them. Sometimes the parents need to stand up for the kids.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2706261162691781672.post-10637847065311522482013-03-25T12:22:24.257-07:002013-03-25T12:22:24.257-07:00Chrissy - that is perfectly fine to vent here.

He's doing fine - saw him at the dr's and to my amazement, he and his mom were doing great. They had some very rough early years. He became a typical teenager with phone plugged into ear.Susan Casehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09108692712611674153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2706261162691781672.post-11102221080600841782013-03-25T10:35:52.181-07:002013-03-25T10:35:52.181-07:00Great post!

They asked/told, "Would you just text me?". Well, no. I keep an updated class blog for parents, send a pdf of the weekly newsletter via email every Sunday night, and place a hard copy of that news in the binder on Mondays. There is no excuse for not knowing the dates for school functions, field trips, or memory verses, etc. Every family in my class is well connected, electronically!<br /><br />Ok, I just vented. Please forgive me. It's nearly April and I'm still dealing with this problem!
