So we have a meeting with our public school k/1st grade coordinator on Monday, and I am essentially looking for some advice on how to approach it. Are there any important questions that I shouldn't forget to ask, any things in particular to talk about/get across about my gifted kid and the curriculum, what they can do for us (if anything) etc? I know a lot of you are advocacy masters so I just want to pick your brains!
A little bit of background - DS just turned four, has been in montessori preschool for last 2 years...he is decoding at maybe 3rd-4th grade level, and comprehension is...1-2nd grade? (we are actually right in the middle of getting him evaluated so we will have more 'concrete' info about that sort of thing in a month or so). math is through the roof - at least 3rd grade math, maybe almost done with that, honestly, and definitely stuff beyond. Socially great, but definitely still 4 years old.
Basically, we know we can't just do it the normal way, and have already talked about homeschooling - but we just want to put all our ducks in a row, and make sure we have touched on all the options available...and that includes at least looking at public school to see what they can offer us.
Any insight would be appreciated!
