You all have such great insights. Thanks in advance.
It would matter where you are because schools are so different than each other. Even teachers inside the same school are different. There will likely be some better years than others. IMO engaging academics are a worthy goal. I also hope for teachers that want to teach and engage a gifted kid.

How much have you read already of what's available online? Here's "what a child doesn't learn." http://www.portage.k12.in.us/cms/li...685/pdfs/April/Whatachilddoesntlearn.pdf

Srry, I didn't answer your question about the DYS requirements. Mine's still a pre-schooler. I'd have to google.
