I am looking at options.

Every teacher and every parent knows, we really learn the material when we have to teach it to a kid. So likewise, it actually does help the smart kid to work with the slower kids to help cement the knowledge for themselves, as long as it isn't over done.

There is a strong argument for keeping the gifted learners with there normal peers, because they have greater appreciation for their accomplishments when they are able to make a social comparison with the norm. My kid's best friend in school is a child with autism, so its hard to figure what the right school environment for her would be.

There is a special school for accelerated learning, associated with Denver University. I don't have the bucks for it right now but if a money ship comes in, and the public solution turns out badly, I will be strongly considering that choice. The gifted and talented teacher at her school has turned out to be nothing more than a political appeasement so far, but I am hoping that improves in the fourth grade.

In the mean time ex-wives are still suing me.

At this point I would need a scholarship or a stock market rally or something to go outside the public system and I haven't found anything like that yet.
