The thing I remember the most about SEARCH was that they carted all the Freeport kids over to SFA on Fridays, which was always hamburger day. They used a different kind of ketchup at SFA and I hated it.

I actually didn’t make it into SEARCH on my first try. I was sick the day of the test – but took it anyway, and I fell 2 points shy of the requirement. I missed the first day that everyone went, while my mom argued with the people in charge about how I should be let in anyway based on my other grades and stuff. They conceded and I got to go starting the second week. And I always felt like an imposter for it. However, the things I learned in that one day a week were so much more useful to me later than the things I was learning in my regular school day.

I hope he makes it in, and it sounds like he will, sooner or later.

sounds like a great opportunity for him, and for you. good luck! I enjoyed our G/T program, SEARCH, but even now sometimes think in some ways I’m a complete dunce.

Your list may be long but you deal with situations as needed. How you and N do everything necessary to keep two little people alive and thriving is beyond me, my parenting is still limited to our dog and he doesn’t even listen to me most of the time.
