Thanks for the pep talk, inky. And I don't want it to sound like I think I'm more important than I am. blush We have a great team now and there are some other dedicated parents who worked hard with us over the summer to get everything into place. As much as I've been a cheerleader for the school, though, and tried to inspire other people to volunteer, etc., I think it would raise some eyebrows if I suddenly decided to pull DD out and homeschool her. That's what I'm a wimp about, even though I think about doing just that very thing every day.

I don't necessarily think pulling her out is the best solution though, not without trying to advocate for something better, and I'm not a wimp about doing that.

Thank you for the advice, everyone. And if anyone has any other recommendations for specific acceleration requests that we can make, I'd love to hear them. Based on so many posts of others, it really does seem like 1st grade is a big year for gifted kids who aren't being challenged.
