Yeah, my previous post does sound pessimistic but true to our experiences. Even within the local gifted parent summer workshops, more than a couple members (whose children attended different schools) felt the need to criticize our grade or subject acceleration choices. Your school must be quite a bit larger and have a better gifted vibe than our immediate area.
My son�s teachers at his new school (in neighboring big city) are all gifted friendly. Even so, we have been asked to keep plans for further accommodations for next year quiet. I would like to be introduced to other parents of kids like ds, but don�t want to draw attention by asking around.
Best wishes in forming your group!
