Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Parenting and Advocacy question about questions to ask

Every school is different. Our school radically accelerated my DS6 to 4th grade w/virtual math on-line. This from a district in a state that has no requirement to even identify until a child is in 3rd grade and no requirement to do anything for those identified.

I would talk to the principal and see what his/her overall take is on GT kids. Is the school willing to subject accelerate or use grade skips? Will they let you work with the teacher to put together something that works for your child? You never know until you ask. The most improtant part is your willingness to ask, our push, or prod if necessary. Definition of Advocate on here is "pushy parent" LOL!
