Well we had our meeting but were told that DD would not be able to do anything accelerated until she finished her "normal" class work. There is apparently no room for negotiation here as we have tried to explain that she is bored with the routine work. If given the opportunity to test out of it, I am fairly confident that DD could. Nevertheless, we plan to meet with the teacher as soon as the accelerated program is running to set clear and reasonable expectations for DD. I don't think that this teacher has any idea how fast DD will move through this program if she is allowed access to it. DD loves working independently and this may be what keeps her content until we can figure out what to do for her 7th grade year.
