I urge readers not to assume that "going private" is any solution. Private school staff can be just as bloody minded as public.

See for example http://www.hoagiesgifted.org/private_pg.htm Even private schools that use the word gifted, let the buyer beware. They may for example, not want 2E, or dyslexia. They may not want PG and up. They may claim to understand SEN of GT but if they have a line of applicants just instead choose kids that seem more docile even if they're less gifted.

The only way to have control over the teacher and the curriculum is to home school (possibly mixing in part-time tutors).

I refer you also to my post on School Administrators as Politicians http://giftedissues.davidsongifted....ool_Administrators_as_Po.html#Post223853

Many are either ignorant, willfully ignorant, or ultimately, just choose to ignore, stonewall, or give at best lip service to an issue (GT) that affects only 1% of their stakeholders (and threatens the other 99%).

Hear me now, believe me later. -Hans and Franz
