Josh finished his first year the TAG program and did extremely well. Turns out it was a good thing when the school enrolled him in it (even though I had said not to, some sort of communication error on their part). It challenged him and he really enjoyed it. Fortunately he had teachers this past year who had a background jn working with children like Joshua so they knew how to help him and lostened to whar I was saying. Hopefully 7th grade goes as well as 6th grade did.

I would do it. Anything that helps him to learn, get a challenge, and feel good about his accomplishments would be beneficial.

That's probably what I'm going to have to do. I think at this point that I will put him in the class with the stipulation that I can pull him out if it is too much for him.

Thanks

Could you talk to the coordinator to see what kind of accommodations they offer to "twice exceptional" students? I know families with 2E kids who have left GATE programs to homeschool because the program was designed for the typical Type A overachiever teacher's pet gifted student and wasn't willing to work with the 2E child.
