You know Dottie, some people were actually quite clueless (!) Only 2 people have asked me directly so far, although I've dodged most of the anti-acceleration parents deliberately. I think most people were asking out of curiosity rather than anything else. One assumed that she was much older than she was and that's why she was going into the year 1-2 class. And I stuck to the "looking for the best fit" line, but also that I was so grateful to be at a small and safe inclusive community school that allowed us the time and space to find the right niche for our girls! Funny, but no-one asked any more questions after that!!!!
I know there's some tough conversations to come and that I haven't faced the full brunt of some parents, but I did survive this morning. Still alive (although desperately needing a massage)... jojo
