Also, this year the school tested her on 5th grade achievement for middle school math placement next year. Since she skipped 5th grade math, she did not do very well on the test. Her teacher and gifted coordinator took that into consideration and she was placed in pre-algebra anyway. Their reasoning was that she is doing well in 6th grade math and is motivated to work hard. I hope your school can also look at the "big picture" and fill in gaps in knowledge instead of slowing down her progress.

Oh I hope so. I just don't get the warm and fuzzies from her email.
