As the schools are so fond of telling those of us who are ESE parents: they are not required to provide the pinnacle of all possible educational experiences. They are required to provide an appropriate education. Period.
Which means, honestly, that your highly or exceptionally or profoundly kid will rarely be completely challenged in class, and will never, ever get everything he or she needs to work at his or her peak. And that's not the worst thing in the world. School should never be confused with education. Schools can only do so much, and after a point, it's up to us to do a lot of the challenging and supplementing and yes, teaching that our kids need.
And yeah...happy at school is a gift from the Cosmos, and not to be underrated...though clearly you know that already.
