The beauty of no-child left behind is the language - I believe - legally applies to gifted children. any child that needs special services in any sense. If we return to public and no-child is still in place, i would demand (plesantly) a WEP or and IEP (some kind of writen plan to enumerate how my child's special needs will be met). It is my limited understanding that - while it may not be offered - if you ask for one they have to spend the time to craft one. Maybe someone else can put some meat on that thought or point of if i'm way off base.
And I agree... just keep asking questions. And if it were me, I'd keep asking myself is any success my child achieves of merit if it is significantly less than their potential.
Uh keep in mind, my kids are still little :-) so I could be full of poop.
