[quote=Anonymous]I agree that its a tough nut to crack.  I get the sense that the teachers (and some parents) roll their eyes with disdain at the parents that insist that their child is "advanced" and needs to be more challenged.  I am always trying to walk the fine line of being an advocate for my child and having realistic expectations of what the teacher can do for my child in a class of 28 students that fall into a range of skills.  I walk this line carefully - out of respect for the "process" and out of fear of being pegged a PITA.  I supplement outside of school with a little extra academic work, music lessons and educational/cultural outings.  The slower curriculum at school has not caused any problems for my kids - like trouble paying attention, boredom or behavior problems like some parents cite about their advanced kids.  They simply are not performing at their "max" - since there are no other real issues/problems, how can I justify making a stink at school?  Just letting them enjoy school for now  - it will get tougher soon enough.  [/quote]
