Mom2LA - I'm glad the teacher is so receptive anyway. That's very encouraging. Let us know how it goes!

And Mia - I totally know about slacking supreme! There is a little girl in my son's first grade class who is also GT. She's probably not as off the top end as DS, but she is so much more self motivated. And because of that, I really think the classroom is an fairly good fit for her. He mom also seems relatively happy with it. There is something to be said for self motivation!
