DolphinChicaDDD - Thanks for the input. I'm exploring the process for getting an IEP, but not sure that she would qualify. I would never interrupt teaching time to talk to a teacher - I know they have a tight schedule to adhere too. We have a conference on Monday, and I think she will do what she can to help, but also understand that she has limitations on what she can do. I want to advocate for my child, yet don't want to alienate the teacher at the same time. There is a fine line there at times, and I just want to help my daughter. Great suggestions on the index cards - I'm filling them out now. The "broken record" of "time on task" is good too - I'll start doing that as well.
James - how bout writing my school system and telling them homework is not necessary for the gifted - lol! I agree with what you are saying, but I guess they do it to reinforce what they are doing in class. I'm pming you!
MysticCat81 - Of course boys are allowed in the discussion, and thanks for sharing about your son!
I'm going to take a hard look at the meds too. Maybe we will try it to see if there is a big difference - we can always take her off if necessary!
I read something today that makes a little bit of sense - if she has been zoned out for the past three years in school, and only payed attention to things that interested her, she may have missed big chunks of vital information - and this may be why she is behind.
