Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Learning Environments How is your experience dealing with public school?

Do you have a good relationship with the principal? If so, I would do most of my advocating through that office. After all, this school year is almost over and next year is a new teacher. Maybe you could speak to the principal about the possibility of having input into next years teacher?

My son's principal actually gave me a list of the various grade teachers available to my son for next year. I've been doing classroom observations to determine which ones would be the best fit. Also, take the time to ask the teachers how they feel about having DS in their class. Some teachers love it, some not so much.
