I would probably talk to the principal, but I am one of "those" parents now- HAHA. Didn't set out be to one, but that is what is has taken to get services for my kids.

Don't you just LOVE when they start in with "there are smarter kids." My response would be that is wonderful - what a wonderful group of peers, and I am glad they are getting the services, but what about my DS, who is also very smart (and qualifies based upon their criteria.) They need to explain to you why he not in the group if he qualifies for it.

Send an email to the teacher and gifted teacher asking the criteria and/or recapping your conversations and cc the principal on it. Does your child have an IEP? If so, ask for a team meeting.

Good luck!
