I do agree that having a teacher who "gets" your DC makes all the differences. DD is in her second week at her new school but her teacher has made many subtle accommodations for DD that tells me she understands where DD is developmentally and knows what to do with a child like her.

I'd be concerned if the teacher doesn't seem to understand how to meet the needs of accelerated learners. I don't know how to approach a teacher about it without coming across as that parent. I wish I did.
