 Chris is in grade 6 and 12 years old. I like the idea of spotted 
dick but do you think other boys in his class might pick on him for 
it. Even thought he is in the gifted and talented program in school 
he has had a problem with bullies this year. It has been bad enough 
that I've had to go and talk to his teachers and remind them that the 
school has a no bulling rule. In fact he came home last night course 
selction papers for next year and he didn't sight up for any "GT" 
classes. I'm very upset about this but I cannot make him take the 
classes he has the right to drop out of the program at any time but I 
don't like it. That right was made so that if the work is to had a 
student could get out of the program. Not for kids that want out 
because of other kids in the program. I'm going to the school tonight 
to see if they can help me change his mind. Sorry about the rant but 
I had to tell someone and he doen't want to listen.
