[quote:Narcissistic:MV8yOTg1NzcyXzUyODc1MDA5X0YzQTQ4NjIy] Thanks, yeah, I um - I'm really drilling into her head (and her older sister, which, isn't mine Biologically yet calls me Dad - she's a K-Kid and is Vice President of the same school, she's in 5th) - Young women love civic work for some reason! I keep telling them, I mean she probably doesn't comprehend it - No smoking, no drinking, no drugs - study hard - HAVE ALL THE FUN IN COLLEGE - Get that scholarship into college! No Student Loans! Defn. keeping one eye open. [/quote]

So my baby June, in 1st Grade - her teacher at the last PTO (We call them that in this State) - they are teaching her 3rd Grade English and Math since she "naturally" is able to pick up on the 1st/2nd grade material.
Now - I've read other threads... about gifted children being "targeted" -
Hell, I just read something about during the Cold War they really pushed the "gifted program" for students and "morphed" them...
So I'm super excited - yet also worried.
I'm not a mother, I'm a Dad - so there's a slight disconnect, (Boys love Mom, Girls Love Dad) - yet Dad's don't have that magic intuition that Mothers do.
Since it's a Public School, should I be worried?
