We were hoping to have DD skip SK so she can go straight to grade one French Immersion. We just found out the other day a private school focused on gifted kids will take us.
I guess we are just a little uneasy to have to potentially commit a large sum of money for private school when we see a perfectly viable option down the street from us.
I considered getting nasty with the school board and taking them to court (not only would they not accelerate, they would not identify either saying they will only do it after age 8).
I don't know what else I can do? I sent a letter to the superintendent yesterday citing my reasons, complete with picture of my child on top to get her attention. I hope they at least make a good faith effort and consider MY CHILD instead of just saying it's not "age-appropriate" and slamming the door.
