At age 2, he understood what $4.95 meant. At age 3 he was reading signs as we drove, and I thought he was just reading by association (ex) the big M is macdonalds) By grade 2 he said the work was too easy. By grade 3 he felt he should be in grade 5 (our school is multigrade & he was doing the gr 5 math). In grade 5, he came home crying & frustrated because he had to draw little circles & boxes to do the multiplication - he refused because he could do it all in his head, & felt insulted. We finally took action in grade 6 to have him tested.

Our son now takes courses online from the John Hopkins University CTY program. He loves it! The main issue that we now have is the cost. It costs about $1200.00 per course. We live in a rural community, and our school division does not provide any advanced placement type courses.

I am wondering if anyone knows of scholarships that might be available for talented students in the public school system?
