Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Parenting and Advocacy How much does school matter? Newbie ?

I've been reading this list for months and enjoyed learning from all of you. I have one child finishing K who were identified as GT this year.

So to those of you with more experience, how much does this school stuff matter? I know every situation is different, but we found it extremely frustrating dealing with the school this year and we're afraid to put ourselves permanently in a district dependent on them to create something meaningful for our kids.

Thanks in advance. Still feeling a bit overwhelmed trying to get my head around this issue.
