the district GT coordinator told me, and I quote, "highly gifted students don't last long in the public school system. Have you considered homeschooling?"
This is both sad and hilarious to me that a GT coordinator would come right out and say that. Mind sharing what district this is? I'm actually very open to homeschooling but I'd be ticked to hear something like this from a GT educator just because it sounds like giving up. Would a special ed coordinator get away with counseling out a student in this way?
In your instance, I'd see if you can get IQ or other ability scores to pair with those WJ scores you posted on your other thread.
If we can get it done affordably (Is that a word? Spell check doesn't like it) we might try for that sometime next year after she turns 6.
