At the middle school where J goes they have the grades divided into teams. Her team is the Mustangs. It encompasses the honors kids, and the special needs ones. So J asked why they were grouping them all together and I told her because even the honors program is considered special ed.
Caro baby, hang in there hon.![]()
CHOCOLATE Scrappy!!!!!!!!
Thing 2 told the Mustang patrol (5th graders that help watch the halls before/after school) that they couldn't touch him and he could do what he wants since his mom works here.That boy is going to make me gray before my time.
smell anything good today caro?
yay Pixie..your ticker looks AMAZING....did you pack yet?
Sure, I tell people so they can understand gifted children, 70-139 is normal IQ, a huge range, so a 140 IQ child is as far from the middle of norm as a 69 IQ child who is considered mentally handicapped. Just to put it in perspective. Having a much higher abilitiy in one or more areas moves them far from the norm and DOES make them different, and presents other difficulties for them.
Okay, off the soapbox.![]()
I told my kids they better not try that crap! Their dad is the police sergeant in the rinky dink village where they go to school & play sports, etc.
Now you have to let him get in a bit of trouble with them and NOT bail him out.![]()
First MM puts her girls to bed before she goes last night and now yours are sleeping later than you? Do you all detach???I can't believe my girls are still sleeping. I think I better wake them up or naptime will be a no-go.

Yes? Okay, I'll tell you.I woke up at 5:30 and CLEANED. Yep, ME.

Don't you love boys with attitude?Thing 2 told the Mustang patrol (5th graders that help watch the halls before/after school) that they couldn't touch him and he could do what he wants since his mom works here.That boy is going to make me gray before my time.

Well, you quoted me before I editied. But I meant super geniuses.
Ex DH was like 142 or something, but not to the super genius level I was referring too.
I notice that the people who are super standouts in hisotry are not always highly functioning.
They used to sleep really late in the mornings (thus my ability to DIS a lot), but lately they've been up super early. Today is a blessing.I think I hear them, though... time to go play mommy.
