- I'm the mom of two girls--one highly gifted, one profoundly gifted--living in Montgomery County, Maryland. Normal school, magnet school, homeschooling...we've done it all...and we're not out of middle school yet. Stick around for a piece of my mind on education issues, especially gifted education.
