And if you think about it, that would be awfully hard to do because you have some kids who would need dyslexia remediation, others who would need behavioral support and um learning about social skills, others who might need coaching for attention.

It it can be so varied the types of s of needs that the children have on the learning side.

I think it is easier to provide the challenge to all of them together on on the the intellectual side.

I think that can be done.

But

But unfortunately, s so many schools for gifted kids seem to also be schools for high-achieving kids.

And if you aren't just sort of a regular kid who stands in line neatly and doesn't marches along, often they don't they don't want you.

They don't want the differently wired ones who who are, I think, the most fast and

fascinating and interesting ones around.

But hopefully that that will change.

I think education in general is due for a lot of lot of change.

Absolutely.

I think it's it's horribly sad when that happens.

And I and I I admire many parents who decide to homeschool because it's it's just possible to really structure it to meet your child's needs so much better.

But I think the key is really keeping the love of learning alive and keeping the the intellectual challenge, keeping the child in a state where they're excited about learning.

Absolutely.

And it really depends on the school district and and often the state that somebody's residing in or the country, w how willing a school is to work with parents.

But what I think is is helpful to do is start by assessing how the principal stands on this issue.

If you can get the support of the principal behind you, they then communicate to the teachers what the teachers can do to help.

But often y the principal w might not be interested.
