Amy,
Thanks for clarifying. I was on the homeschool bubble last year so I declined any PTA position for this year. Just before sending in the letter of intent to homeschool, we found out DD's teacher this year is supposed to be a gem. Even so, I'm torn about whether the energy I spend trying to prevent DD from flying under the radar, learning underachievement and developing unhealthy perfectionism would be put to better use homeschooling. If I can get past the first hurdle of getting DD identified as gifted then there's the next hurdle of grade acceleration. The idea of eternal advocacy wears me out!
