DD8's excellent public school teacher became so attached to her gifted/high achieving 3rd grade class that when the 4th grade gifted teacher DD was supposed to have announced his retirement, DD's teacher stepped up to the plate and asked to teach the 4th grade class. So in 4th grade DD gets the same great friends in class, and the same great teacher...
I doubt my e-mail to the principal had much influence, but it sure feels nice to be in a school where the principal and some of the teachers 'get it'.
Update: Sigh...found out yesterday that the district doesn't allow a teacher to teach the same students three years in a row, so DD is going to end up with a different 4th grade teacher with apparently no gifted teaching credentials. Here we go again...
