*sigh* See, I think at least part of why our school district doesn't think the lack of a TAG program is a problem is because of the standardized testing emphasis -- if the kid can already do the work now that she'd be expected to do at the end of the year, well, great! She'll still be able to do it at the end of the year and that will boost the class score! Win all around!
Um, yeah. And the way the district staff have talked to us over the last few months...well, it's been like every negative conservative stereotype about "educrats." I find myself in a position which is completely contrary to to my own ideological leanings, and not liking it much.
Of course, at the moment our Innovative Homeschool Curriculum seems to involve Blondie the Bear and Mr. Zebra having a running party, which is apparently going to be followed by a bout of noodle-eating. Well. We'll get to something more substantive after lunch, I'm sure.
