I received a letter from the school today asking for permission to test Tyler for gifted and talented. I know that he is a very smart child but I guess I just thought that he would make good grades and not have to struggle with school. I never thought that G&T was a possibility. He is very excited about wanting to do it so that he can "Do work that isn't so boring". My first reaction was to not let them test him because I was in G&T for a few years and did not like being singled out. After talking with Tyler I have decided that it may be very good for him and that I should not keep this opportunity from him. We will see what happens.
Kelsey, who was diagnosed with ADHD in first grade, amazes me as well. She is in 7th grade this year and has all A's & B's. Once she learned how to work around the issues that she had at school she has been on the honor roll for the last 4 years. She frustrates me because she is so unorganized but she always manages to surprise me with her intelligence.
I know I am a little bias since they are my kids, but they are amazing! I am so blessed to have such healthy, beautiful and wonderful children.
Chris was in GT at Inola. He also has ADHD...it has been up and down with his grades. He was on the same path as Kelsey this year until we stopped giving him his meds. Does she take any? Or have you managed it with other things?
