[quote=Anonymous]10:21, are your kids at McKinley? Our child was identified this spring and this is our concern in the coming years. We've heard rumors that the gifted resource teacher has admitted that he is completely overwhelmed in a school of over 700 students. He's great and completely committed to gifted education but the planning factors at the county level only allow for one GT teacher per school, and pushing in to 30 classrooms simply doesn't give him the time to really serve the kids in the way he'd like. What that means is that the individual teachers are really the ones who impact your child the most in terms of differentiating the classwork. If your child is already tagged, that carries with them into the school system, I think so that's one less hurdle in APS. Don't trust Nattress to fix the problem, her plan is to hand each kid an iPad and let them challenge themselves. [/quote]
