First of all look at the positives. There is a school she can work at her own pace in - they are open to here moving to higher classes. There is a college she can go to at 13. Both these things make my jaw drop in amazement.
You are absolutely right. I realize my post was a bit hand-wringing. We are incredibly lucky that we've found the resources we have. My daughter hates learning alone and I've only just got her open to the idea of a skype class, maybe. I don't know what we'd do if we didn't have her school (and if any readers are in Portland OR or surrounding, PM me and I'll share information about the school).
We have been going through a bad patch where she was stressed and anxious herself over growing up and at the same time complaining most of her classes are still too easy (still?). So it's a process.
When we first had her tested, the educational consultant (who arranged the testing and helped us explore options based on the result) said that the trick with these kids is that even when you find a good solution, it doesn't necessarily stay a good solution forever. I smell change in the wind and sometimes it's scary.
Thanks for your input. As frustrated as we were just a few years ago with her schooling (OMG the stories I could tell), I still forget what it's like to come through the storm and land in a calm patch... at least momentarily.
