No, she's not really gifted. She's smart, but not exceptionally so. Minnesota has an early admissions program that allows high school students to go to college early if they just get a good score on the ACT. It's like "duel enrollment", but since she was home schooled when she was with her dad in Minnesota, she doesn't have to be enrolled in high school at the same time she's taking her college courses.
She's living in a dorm because her dad moved out of state right after getting her signed up for college.
She had been staying with us from Feb. until school started in the fall and I really didn't want her to go.
She's a pain in the butt, but she's my pain in the butt, and I wanted her to finish high school while living with us. This makes her angry, because she thinks I'm trying to deny her the greatest opportunity of her life.
