Trinity, I love your ideas and suggestions. An important part of the advocacy we do for own children lies in educating our own school systems about "gifted" in general. I think it's important to carefully consider the terminology we use, to make sure we're communicating concepts that are readily understood. In some cases we do need to "reframe" the information to allow it to be better received. As I fight for my own child's needs within the school system, I always hope that whatever "educating of the educators" I accomplish will somehow benefit the next gifted child who comes along.
