MiniBlondes Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Hi all. I have never posted on this particular section of the board before. This is our first year as a homeschooling family. My DD9 was tested and recommended as VSN for the AG programs at 2 separate schools in 2 separate states per the teacher recommendations. I have never quite understood what exactly this means in terms of how her brain works. To me, I've always known that she was 'smart' but I thought that AG was the PS's way of saying 'These kids actually want to learn so lets teach them something separately once a week.' I have never understood if it actually means anything significant. That probably sounds terrible, huh? Now that I will be her teacher, I am terrified that I will mess her up somehow. I don't want to hold her back by not giving her enough credit. So what exactly does AG mean for our homeschool? Should I approach her instruction/curriculum any differently? Thanks for your help! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenbrdsly Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Welcome! It sounds like you might benefit from reading the "Don't Panic" post from the Parenting the Gifted Blog Tour that some of us organized this summer. :) It also might be helpful for you to check out the SENG website.
