((hugs to KCab))
I'm still here until Monday, and I'll try to peek in once in a while while traveling...
I do agree that schools "should" have open and above board policies for meeting the needs of gifted kids. OTOH, until the taxpayers make it clear that they want the needs of gifted kids met, and will pay the difference, if there even is one, or there is a State Law forcing the issues, I don't think it's going to happen widely.
I think we need 'not either timid or pushy' moms, like Kcab, everywhere to make friends with all the voters and taxpayers we come in contact with, and gently put forward our perspectives. This might take a while...but while we patch together things for our children, you can bet that the grandchildren will come along and many will have special educational needs as well.
