We're at a new school, and the administration is already stalling on meeting with us to discuss acceleration. They say that they need at least a month to "get to know" DD, but have absolutely no interest in her WISC or WIAT scores, Talent Search results, EPGY progress, etc.
DD has a tendency to be whiny, and since her teacher has already been "warned" about us, I know she's going to be on her radar (and probably not in a good way). So I'm trying to come up with a list of acceptable things my dd can say to her teacher when she's less-than-challenged by the curriculum.
I'm already planning on telling her to be sure to approach her teacher privately, and not to complain under her breath or roll her eyes whenever she gets a math worksheet.
But how should she ask for harder work? "Excuse me, but would it be okay if I did this in Base 8 instead?"
