Some days are better than others, some battles you expect to be difficult are easy and the easy one's difficult.

Because you have a young child and you're already using social media through your blogging, I'm wondering if you'd be willing just to take a look at the site and provide me with some feedback. It could be all anonymous if you want, and this is purely for research (i.e. I'm not trying to get you to buy anything). I'd just really appreciate your input.<br /><br />If you know anyone else in this type of situation that might also be willing to help, that would be AWESOME, as well.<br /><br />Please email me if you're willing to spend a few minutes on this. I can give you some login info to see other parties already created and give you a few questions to guide your feedback.

We have some stories you might be interested in to post on your blog. Please visit us on Facebook before you make your decision. We are only trying to further tell the Army's story. <br /><br />http://www.facebook.com/pages/Tikrit-Iraq/Task-Force-Marne/156320704002 <br /><br />Thank you for your time.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03903873625181090992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11291056.post-36245896578447055272010-05-25T23:05:23.266-05:002010-05-25T23:05:23.266-05:00Meeting #3 in the morning yawl....wish us luckMeeting #3 in the morning yawl....wish us luckRachelle Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15724965902279649268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11291056.post-69793270329987899152010-05-25T16:28:19.288-05:002010-05-25T16:28:19.288-05:00I have a cousin that sounds so much like your son,...I have a cousin that sounds so much like your son, it is scary. They made the mistake of advancing him and I think it was the beginning of the end for him... because the kids older weren't really sure what to do with a kid that was half their size, 2-3 years younger, and fluent in Spanish because he taught himself? It was an absolute disaster... and there was nothing for him. Private school was almost worse, although they were able to challenge him more. <br /><br />He went through a seriously bad time as a teen and twenty-something trying to figure out how to fit when he realized... he didn't. He ended up marrying a GREAT girl, who came from a brilliant family and completely understood him. He went back to college and get this... he is a MATH teacher in the public school system, High School, and he will ONLY teach the high risk children. Pegged out IQ and the man wants the challenge of those others deem unreachable. He's won all sorts of awards. He really is amazing.<br /><br />So you are doing the right thing. It sucks having to fight all the time for our children. I'm beaten down by it. But... it is the victories such as the one you just experienced, that give us the energy to fight the next battle. <br /><br />I cannot wait to see what greatness your son has in store for this world... he has so much to offer.Bouhttp://boudicca.mu.nunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11291056.post-10806924464994739962010-05-24T09:51:16.613-05:002010-05-24T09:51:16.613-05:00Hope everything goes well!

It isn't easy. School (and other people) really don't have experience with this level of giftedness. It's rare. But you are wonderful parents for him, and school (at least some of them) are trying. They are always going to be a little behind the curve. But you are right, keep looking for those that love teaching to help him along the way.<br />Over the course of our son's school years we did accelerate him, three years. It was his choice, but in hindsight, we think it would have been better to not. It left some major growing up to do in college. He's done ok, still on his own track. But as he's gotten older he has made a place for himself. As your son continues to advance, look to the local community college for help, and then UNL. In our state we could dual enroll between high school and college (and school district paid for it!) (that was availible for younger dau, and not our son)<br />We also have the younger sister---also very gifted, but a little less trouble fitting in. That helped a lot. She's in college now and loving it. She helps big brother with some of the fitting in stuff, and just being the one who understands both him and "normal" intelligent people the best.kghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11152719516197876921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11291056.post-24738454652413179602010-05-24T04:00:48.970-05:002010-05-24T04:00:48.970-05:00Good luck.Good luck.ptghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15079577478993790527noreply@blogger.com
