Dottie -
thanks for highlighting my key question. do you think you would get anywhere with the school folks if you said: We my DC is 8 by birth certificate, has the skills of a 9 year old, the Knowledge base of a 16 year old and critical thinking of a 13 year old. Can you design a program for a child like this?
Or My child is 14, has the skills and critical thinking of a 16 year old, and knowledge base of a 14 year old. Can you help me plug up the gaps she has in her knowledge base by suggesting a few good history books, and then give her a gradeskip?
If I'm on the right track, we can make this particular change just by thinking and talking and asking for resources over and over again. As long as we are making our way thorough the system, we may as well leave some good structure in place. So tell me, am I in the ballpark? Have I overlooked something?
