Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Parenting and Advocacy What's the path of least resistance??

So you guys are homeschooling now or is he in school?

In my state IEPs are required by law for gifted students. What you get on that IEP depends on a lot. Right now all we have in the IEP is that DS is to get 90 minutes of enrichment a week. That was very easy to get since that's standard here.

I'm trying right now to do a grade skip starting with math and reading. It's proving to be very difficult. I know if it was in DSs IEP they'd have to do it but it probably would have been a bigger fight to get his gifted teacher to add it to his IEP than it has been to work with the principal at his school.

I think that it depends entirely on the laws of your state and the school that you are working with. Are IEPs mandated by law? Have you talked to the school to see if they'd consider a grade skip?
