Hi all,
My almost-6-year old daughter just started kindergarten -- she just misses the age cut-off for first grade. She reads at an almost-3rd-grade level (had her tested), is advanced in math, and shows many other signs of being gifted. There is very little differentiation in her classroom and she's bored and not learning anything. The G & T program is minimal (half an hour every other week) and the district won't even consider the idea of skipping her. My questions for you:

1) What recourse do I have? I have all sorts of documentation but they seem to think what they have is good enough.

2) If we were to move, where to? It doesn't have to be somewhere with a strong G& T program IF there is very good differentiation within the classroom. Or a great G&T program would be good too. We would even consider private schools in the short run.

Thank you.
