Well, we got ds's conference info yesterday - it's on Feb 8th, it'll be for 30 minutes (instead of the usual 15 minutes), and the gifted teacher will be there as well as his regular teacher. Hopefuly he'll be able to help us with our questions - I have e-mailed him once or twice, but he's not very forthcoming in his replies - so hopefully he'll be better face to face smile I'll let you all know what we decide to do ! smile
