Be that parent.
You can find out earlier what types of attitudes you're dealing with. I started in the spring prior to K with my DD and the very first conversation I had with the principal was indicative of the entire experience we had with him. Dismissive, negative, throwing out at me the experience he'd had two years prior with the parents of some other random gifted kid (and you know all of our kids are exactly the same, with the same profiles, needs, and experiences - NOT) and we continued to hear about this child and parents for months at every meeting and how he wasn't grade skipped like the parents requested and it turned out to be the best thing ever....
Just get your ducks in order and follow a nice protocol, see what happens.
