That's a downer. Put your feet up, get a good night's sleep and start fresh tomorrow. That's my favorite thing about going to sleep. Each time you wake up the next day, it's a fresh start!
All the best for tomorrow's meeting.

It's too bad about the one school. Some schools slap on a label, and people come in droves. A number of schools that are gifted (Not all by any means) are not very flexable. It was good to find out now.

That's too bad, but at least you don't have to agonize over whether the drive is worth it...

Voila!

It is settled smile DD is going to local school #2.

We have met the teacher and she gives an excellent impression.

I will write more tonight, now I have to prepare lunch for DD and me.

Yay Isa! I'm so glad you like the teacher at the local school. Now you can relax a little, maybe!

I found that many gifted schools do not offer skipping years but do offer accelerated math and in high school connections to take courses at universities around them.

I am not sure why that is the case.

Isa,

Congratulations! I hope that it works out well and remember, fit is probably the MOST important thing in establishing school connections. (Hi Dottie and Kriston, I'm doing that Rampant Emotionalism thing again...)
