Thanks. Parents definitely do a lot to make up for the lack of a gifted programs, we run a lot of enrichment clubs. But in-class enrichment has always been an issue. We haven't seemed to be able to make much headway. DD does a ton of musical activities outside of school, participates in outside orchestras since 1st grade (she has been with middle- and high-school orchestras), formal training programs, etc. etc. Ideally we'd ask for some form of exemption, letting her use the time to do theory work, practice her solo music, etc. Not sure whether it's possible at all.
