[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP,

Question for you. How invested are you to devote time to your kid's education?  I am asking because I enriched at home quite a bit. I did not depend entirely on the school.

Completely invested.  We do a ton of stuff at home (workbooks, logic games, instruments) and have no plans to slow that down.  I'm just hoping to get a little more juice from the public school squeeze.  I was hoping for some anecdotes like 'Our school has a logic class for third grade and I was able to get our second grader into it by talking to administrator XYZ' or 'We talked to every 2nd grade teacher and found out there were other kids at advanced levels and now they do a pull out once a week'.

I guess I'd just like something to bring up so I don't end up having a conversation like this:

"So my kid is pretty good at math"
Teacher: "She sure is"
"Is there anything the school can do to challenge her a bit more?"
Teacher: "Nope"

And then we stare blankly at each other.

We kind of already had a similar conversation earlier in the year at the parent/teacher conference and I'd rather not repeat that sort of thing :)[/quote]
