My highly gifted 3rd grade daughter has disliked school since Kindergarten. She has been really bored and we have tried to work with the teachers at enrichment and differentiation. We have put band aids on the situation that have gotten us this far but we are needing to make some more serious changes this year.
We are going to talk about the possibility of a full grade acceleration but I have also been wondering if I could talk the school into letting me keep her home one day a week or picking her up early a couple days a week to do our own "gifted program" at home. (along with subject accelerations at school)
She goes to the neighborhood parochial school and the community is truly wonderful and loving and she has friends and her sister is perfectly happy so we feel kind of stuck.
Has anyone ever heard of such a thing working or have any thoughts on how to address that topic with the administration?
