I ran across this article on planning a school meeting for advocacy. Some good suggestions in it.

Here is the link: http://www.davidsongifted.org/db/Articles_id_10111.aspx

There are a couple of pretty good points in challenging misconceptions. Now if I can just remember them when I need them!

Thanks, Elisa, for this link. It was very timely- I have a meeting with the principal this week!

Thanks! I have another meeting this week --- each meeting goes better and better.
