On that note, I have something that helped and though it won't be helpful to most, I will mention it. We public cyber schooled for the year. PSs hate that bc they fund it. I know they particularly hate it here bc they have empty seats. We had a wonderful gifted program in the cyber school that allowed ds to accelerate at whatever rate he needed to through the coursework and many options available in HS. Then we told the ps to help us with his LD's or keep paying for it. I have never received such a warm welcome
It was our bargaining chip. Not sure what other bargaining chip people can come up with for public school but there are good cyber schools out there for the gifted so that's another option. It also made me more confident bc we had an alternative to the ps. I wasn't just begging.
