Well, after trying for a couple of weeks to get a meeting with DD's teachers and the administration about everything that is going on, we finally had our meeting yesterday.
If body language was any indication, boy did DD's teacher not want to be in the meeting. She was sitting there with her arms crossed, legs crossed, a sour look on her face and she didn't even look at us while we were talking most of the time.
We explained to them again about DD's ability and needs, as well as issues we have with how she is curently being taught at the wrong level and her work that is at the correct level is extra and not instead of grade level work. They were not very happy to hear that we were so unhappy and that DD is getting so frustrated. They still don't seem to understand that she is not going to be perfect, or do fabulous work all the time. They also don't quite understand that if she is given simple worksheets all the time they will not "see' her giftedness, and will probably see less and less of it the more fill in the blanks she is gven to do.
They also asked what we expected them to do! When we said differentiate appropriately they asked where they were suppose to find ideas about how to do this. I told them about Hoagiesgifted and this site again and they acted like I'd not already told them about those sites 3 times before. (ARGH)
They've asked for a week to come up with a plan of how they will meet her needs. So - the wait continues.
