Oh, I know it's a long shot, but I did hear that they sometimes leave a spot or two open in the class, in case someone transfers in from out of district. But you're right, our best bet at this time is getting some sort of accomodation in her regular class. We have a meeting with the school guidance team coming up in a couple of weeks, since her teacher didn't feel she could make any changes on her own.
I'm anticipating, among other arguments, dd's teacher claiming that (#1) she's had numerous kids in her class like dd, and they didn't need anything different and (#2) if dd's so smart, why didn't she make it into the full day program in the first place? For #2, I'd like to be able to say, "That's a great question. Statistically, it seems kind of weird that they would deny our appeal after seeing these test scores. Do you think they might have discriminated against her because of her ADHD?"
I've heard that one of the people on the team is a real number cruncher--you have to show her the hard data to convince her of anything. I just want to go in armed with as many different arguments as possible so I can pull out whichever one I need for the situation.
Plus, I figured there had to be someone here that would appreciate a math problem first thing in the morning.
