Thanks for all of your ideas.
I don't get the whole IAS thing either. I actually found online a sample of the questions and I didn't get how they could use it for GT either, but I didn't want to argue with her over the phone. I think I am just going to bring in more information on it and ask how they use it.
I think what is the most frustrating is I have only been really reasearching this topic for a short time in comparison to her years in the district and I feel like I know more about the tests, research etc. It almost is embarassing for them to keep giving out misinformation.
The principal told me she would be surprised if they have dealt with a more informed parent(a lot thanks to you guys), but honestly I feel like I have hardly scratched the surface of what is out there information wise.
I think my dd would be fine with a k-2 grade skip. The private preschool she went to actually went up to 8th grade and they always had her with the year higher. They wanted her to start K last year and we considered just keeping her there for the one year to bump her up for the public school, but they said they wouldn't honor it. That she would have to complete first grade for them to take the placement. I knew that two years of the tuition wasn't possible so we decided not to bump her up then.
At this point I feel like that is the only option that could really work. I don't know if I trust them b/c the first go round has failed with the enrichment and if she goes to 1st next year and it is as bad as this year I am afraid how she will be doing by the end of the year.
I am going to bring in these websites. I already have her doing the EPGY so maybe she can continue with that in school.
