Ania -
You are not pushy! You didn't bring up DD's situation - her TEACHER did. It isn't your fault that your kids are smart, ok, beyond the "tainted" blood/genes, it really isn't!
Good luck with the next meetings.
P sounds like she doesn't know her data or have a clue. Burns me up when people in positions of athority abuse that athority.
To be honest, you are much better skipping DD now, then waiting to skip her "bridge year" - partially because she is willing now, and partially because the IAS manual really discourages missing the last year in any building. I have personal experience here, and it isn't easy organizationally!
My hunch is that if you push, just a little bit more, nicely, with a calm written letter requesting that DD enter 7th this year, that you will do her a lot of good. Don't let your emotions get in the way of what is your best judgement, please!
Love and More Love, because these are hard places,
Trinity
