I think the pull out group is very well done for us, however, you do need to focus on what the classroom teacher can do to combat boredom. In the pull out, they do study topics other kids don't, and do math and logic puzzles.

Maybe you can speak to the G/T teacher?

The next step in the process is to talk with the G/T "team", I assume that's a teacher. They have a formal conference with parents. I never thought to ask if the time increases over the years, so that's a good question.

Anything else I should ask the G/T teacher/team?

Life is the hardest teacher. It gives the test first and then teaches the lesson.
