So glad you are here! It does stink, let's say that up front
The people on this board have been so super helpful so keep trying you will get there. If you are in a mandated state, you can go to your state board of education site and start reading up on gifted education. It's time consuming, confusing and draining AND every little bit you know helps your battle. I looked for an advocate too. None to be found so I've taken the last year and a half to research, ask questions and basically become my own.
I ran across a speech from a local businessman at a college of business gathering at our local university the other day. He was talking about the need for educated workers and how education at the beginning is the key.
He said, "Speak out! We are the people we have been waiting for!"
I don't know if he was quoting someone else or not, but that statement just stuck with me.
