Hi! I am Teresa, mom to four children.  I am also a grandma.  My childrens' ages rage from 32 years to 13 years old.  They are as follows: ds 32, ds 26, ds 13 and dd 13.  All of my children are gifted.   When my older sons were young there was little or no information about gifted children so I really winged it but the school and teachers were great.  Today they are successful young men with careers and family.  Unfortunately, I am not having the same success with the educators and school with my younger children, despite that these are some of the same teachers I had for my older children.  I came to the board to share information but also to gain knowledge of what, we, as parents, are facing in trying to educate our children in the public and separate school systems today. Below, please find two pictures my children drew This is a picture my dd drew when she was four.  Notice her face inside the window peering out at the world. This picture, although difficult to see here, is a very detailed picture of my youngest ds' computer.  Completed at the beginning of grade four.
