A funny thing happened, in the four years of dealing with our school no one has been willing to work with us and our daughter. We had testing done the end of last school year and when they said they wouldn't do anything at the time I pulled all three out of school and began homeschooling. They finally got around to doing there own testing and want to have an IEP meeting next week and want to know what I would consider if I put them back in school. They mentioned grade skipping, at least one year, pull out for the written expression that she is actually behind in or even half day attendance. Gee, all it took was pulling her out of school for them to finally see the light.
I'm not sure what we will do, we will definately have to see what they offer and what long term plan they will put in place, I can't see this being a one time thing. My husband really would like them in school, he doesn't like the relaxed learning day we have here with five kids at different levels. He thinks we could continue to supplement like we did when they were in school, and I'm sure she isn't going to suddenly decide she wants to leave Chemistry and just do "school" science. My only real push towards public is that I see the need for her to have more help with social skills; she has Gifted Aspergers. I'm stuck on that wall because for her there are definate pros and cons both ways....Right there with you...
