Thanks, everyone.
There is concern that the principal will get defensive if approached, so we are trying to tread lightly. My son goes to a language immersion school, and the principal (pretty arrogantly, IMO) stated at a recent parent meeting that he thought that the language program was better than any gifted curriculum we could get elsewhere. While I agree that the language is what is providing the primary educational challenge to my son, it really is not enough.
My son's teacher is doing her best, though, so I really can't complain about her desire to accommodate him. This is mostly the other parent's crusade. I'm just going to offer support as best as I can.
Thanks again.
