I know similar questions have been asked before, but I think it's worth revisiting.
Well, I have finally gotten a chance to arrange a meeting, for Tuesday, with the school we think DD7 will be attending next year. It is the local public school she started in at the beginning of this year, but it didn't work out because the gt program was a 1 day a week pull out in grade 2, and because we were new to the district, she hadn't started it even after a month of school, and there was bullying going on. So, she's been at the private school I work at for the year. (Which hasn't been all that great either.)
The public school's fulltime gt program starts in grade 3, so we're transferring her back there next year. Her class will be a combined grades 3 & 4 class (the other gt class is combined 4/5). All I know right now about the program, other than that they have one, is that when DH asked them over the phone about the curriculum he was told that even the gt kids had to meet all of the benchmarks for their grade level, including the state testing.
I expected her to have to take the state tests, but am a bit concerned about how they explained the rest "having to meet all grade level benchmarks". Based on what I know about the grade level benchmarks, she has already met and surpassed the majority of them.
I have so many questions to ask them, I don't know where to start. What would your top 5 questions be to the school at this meeting? (It is with the class teacher and the gt guidance counselor.)
