Zia�s mom,

So sorry for all the drama! We had a similar experience with the public school. Our daughter completed K early at private school where she had a wonderful teacher and did extremely well academically and socially. The public school would not enroll her for 1st grade because she missed the cutoff by six weeks. After a dozen or so phone calls, they agreed to access her for 1st. It was a predetermined sham meant to pacify me. The only thing they could point to after two hours, was that she started two letters of the alphabet from the bottom rather than the top! That�s it! After two and a half years, we placed her back to her proper placement with the private school. Idiots.

I think you can return Land�s End merchandise to Sears.

I don�t have any home school advice. Do you believe in blessings in disguise? The lower grades are particularly difficult for gifted children, especially if the teacher is just average. Maybe it is best that he won�t have to endure it.
