So the local paper wants to interview DD for getting a CTY award. Apart from coaching her not to say things like, "School is soooooo boring!" does anyone have any tips? It sounds like he just wants to know things like interests, hobbies, etc., so it's more of a human interest piece.
If we do get a chance to make a point about gifted education, what should it be? We wish schools would consider acceleration more often? NCLB is holding our kids back? Talk about twice-exceptionalities (DD is also ADHD)? Or should we just play it safe, say how wonderful our local schools are and how lucky we are to live here?
I know we'll ruffle fewer feathers if we say the last thing, but I'm rather frustrated at the moment with advocating for DD at the school level. But my instincts are saying to stay off of the soapbox for this one.
Any suggestions? Anyone been there/done that?
Thanks!
