I'm trying to work within my system to advocate for my DS7. We've been doing much better this year and still we have a lot of work to do.
I'm in a blue state so gifted is mandated which you would think is great. Only there are about 50 different policy manuals each at about 100 pages to read through. Some of them contradict the others, some are so vague as to be useless and some of them are changed as soon as I ask a question in my favor. Very frustrating.
My latest question was ignored for two months and then answered, only totally not a policy answer. I want to see it in black and white. "Yes" my DS7 can do this or "No" we can't provide that and here is the document to prove it. How difficult is that for a state with written policies on gifted education? UGH!
