No Rocket Scientists Here

I was reading an article yesterday about our "ever- improving" public school system. The public schools have set aside large amounts of money to make sure that disabled children get an equal education. This is, I feel, as it should be. But...they have correspondingly cut the funding for gifted children. If your child is gifted, they will be bored in class. There is no extra funding to help them reach their potential. Better hope if your child is gifted, you are rich enough to pay for private programs.

Both of my girls are smart. They do well in school but neither one has been labeled as gifted. I was wondering if my son will someday be gifted and thus shortchanged educationally.

Well my husband watched him this morning while I drove A to school. When I got home, husband was flustered. SJ had taken off his diaper after pooping and then proceeded to fingerpaint. Guess my worries are unfounded.

Also, speaking of gifted, did anyone hear about the woman who auctioned her forehead on Ebay for advertising purposes? For ten-thousand dollars, she had GoldenPalace.com tatooed on her forehead.

This sounds like a Chinese restaurant, but I checked and it is a casino.

She said the money will pay for a private school education for her son. I hope she set some aside for counseling...
