I've talked with her. Her son is already in a Gifted and Talented program, but they're still expecting too much busy work from him-- he's good at learning things that he's interested in the first time he hears them, and doesn't need drilling.

He's got two years more of high school to go.

I've convinced her that it's worthwhile to work on convincing the school that they should modify the program into something that's better for him, and also that it's good for him to learn about advocacy as well as (instead of?) accommodation. I think she cares enough that this isn't going to fall off the to do list, but I'll ask again in a couple of months.

Thanks for pushing about this.
