Thanks for the reminder - I will need to have the 'helicopter' completely overhauled and refueled in anticipation of a meeting with DD's future middle school principal. Apparently all Maths schedules are aligned and high school geometry is available too and I need to be sure that DD will have the chance for an appropriate level if challenge *during* school hours next year.

I did exactly what you are doing (after-schooling) for many years with both kids, but we finally found a school that "gets it". I don't think after-schooling is "helicoptering" (which I said earlier in this thread)--I think it's a normal parental response when dealing with the needs of a gifted kid stuck in a situation that sucks.
