16. I never saw that movie!!
She had what they called it in Idaho, T.A.G, talented and gifted, what a joke....they learned how to play chess, For three effing years!!!
We changed schools and the enrichment classes are a great sigh of relief. She does love it and wants to go up some more, it's me that has the problem!!
