Gifted Academy

I love our pediatrician. He seems to be a very intelligent man himself, and has an amazing memory. He remembers lots of incidental things about us. Even if he just writes them down in our kids' file and reviews them before he comes in, that's still terrific!

A few weeks ago, he called me out of the blue at about 5:30 pm. He had heard of a charter school in Boise that is only for the highly gifted and called to give me the information.

Of course, I don't know if J would qualify, but I wonder what the testing process is like, and if it is free. And I worry about J changing schools. He seems so happy at his math & science magnet school. I don't know what the commute would be, but it really could only improve from the commute we have now (it's a 15 minute drive each way, and it's sort of in the middle of nowhere, so we can't combine trips. And it's the opposite direction of all our errands and stores.)

I guess it's something to look into, something I need to pursue.
