Kyra == Gifted = TRUE
The title says it all in programming parlance. Just spoke with the school psychologist, who finally completed Kyra's evaluation. Within the next 30 days, we should be having a meeting with the Gifted Program coordinator to determine what her lesson plan is.
In case anyone wants to know why I pushed for this. By third grade I was completely bored in school. In fifth grade, I got lucky. I had a teacher who understood that certain students were more adept than others, and challenged us. I was doing basic algebra by the end of the year. Grades 6-8 I spent mostly bored. All because I was never challenged and did not have access to the gifted program (never tested). I'd prefer not to have Kyra labelled, but it's the only way I can think of to keep her challenged and engaged in school.
