BWBShari, That is great advice.
We might be in public 1st in Sept.
Right now my DS is in Montessori.
I never thought to ask the teachers how they would feel about having DS in their class.
Although I might not have a choice since he would be in a gifted program and I believe they place your child, there might only be one gifted class even. We will find out in April.
Once I find out I will make an apt to speak to the principal.
