[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So once again, the end result is a program for exceptional students, not gifted children. I question why we need centers to accommodate these kids. Better we just call it what it is--tracking--and keep them in their base schools. We'd save money on busing and all of the other costs associated with AAP.[/quote] On the same notion, why we need centers for so-called "gifted children"? Are they having difficulty catch up with the rest of the class? If the "gifted" can't be "exceptional", or "very good students", what's the "gift" good for? X'mas?[/quote] What? Are you unfamiliar with the terminology? Gifted means "talented" as in "advanced." Gifted children don't have difficulty catching up to the rest of the class. Gifted children are so far down the road, they are waiting for the rest of the children (presumably yours?) to catch up to them. Did you actually not understand this or are you being deliberately (and obnoxiously) obtuse?[/quote]
