I was worried about a meeting today with the GATE teacher because I thought she'd be difficult to deal with. Turns out she's really nice, easy to talk to, seemed to understand what I was looking for, enthusiastic about her job.
But. She's not the person who can give my DD what she needs, or give my DD's teacher what she needs. As she said: it's 45 minutes once a week, I hope I have an influence or make an impression on them, but I'm not taking them through a curriculum. And she's new at the job, so she's still finding her groove.
I can't believe that even with helpful people it's so hard. So I have to organize yet another meeting with yet another person. I'm beginning to understand why there's a DYS program.
