Dottie, please don't get me wrong. I'd like to see every child get what they need, and everyone other than the very middle could use some kind of differentiation plan. I just can't help but jump on the bandwagon now for the special needs of our DSs because the schools are not providing them the education they need. While we are SO fortunate with our family situation and with where we live, so many parents have no help for their HG/PG. If I went back to work, or if we were back in Ohio where HS is not nearly as supported, I have no idea what we'd do. There are no HG schools in our area, and none for less than $20k a year where we used to live. If schools can integrate the special needs of the very bottom of the spectrum (and I do support those children's needs too), it begs the question as why there isn't something to help the very top, as well. *sigh* I know I'm preaching to the choir here!!
