But, the kicker is that they won't use the word "gifted" officially. I am using the words "high ability learner" along with "quick thinker" and "high work ethic, focus and concentration" as substitutes for the G-word. Any other words or phrases that will help me to convey what I want to say? TIA.
I would use numbers instead of words. Have you considered an out-of-level test (EXPLORE, SAT, ACT...) to get hard data on what your child can do in various subjects?
Some teachers are never going to understand the full range of "gifted" that exists. But having numbers that say "child is achieving at the 10th grade level" can help them see what should happen.
