Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Twice Exceptional Got what I think I wanted?

I think in this case, where you have such an advanced kid, all that really matters is a teacher willing to let you do what you need to do. No matter how great the classroom, supplies etc. it won't matter much since the teaching will be aimed at the masses. And we all know K material will never be enough for our kiddos, no matter the school. What I would do is take her up on her comment and ask to bring in your own supplies. I did this with my son for 3 years until we got into a situation where the school was able to take over. Math books, writing/grammar/spelling materials, books etc. If she is willing to allow this I think you are doing well.

There are many other great aspects to early schooling other that just academic. YOU can make sure he has challenging materials to work with. School, at this point, will teach him other things. Social skills, independence,and just learning basic life skills.
