Thanks indigo -- unfortunately I have already gotten the impression from the school that they would like this meeting to be one and done -- I am sure they will explain all of those things, but they will also expect me to sign off before I leave the room. In PA it is required that all testing is completed before the meeting. I also know that we are in uncharted territory because the schools "official" program doesn't starte until the second grade and they have already confirmed that there are no other children her age her age currently in the program. I agree that there are benefits to the pull-out program, just that it can't be all they offer.
