[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really wish they would also use academic scores to see who qualifies because the program is called Advanced ACADEMIC Program. It isn't the prepped kids who slow down the program it is the kids who are academically at or even below grade level! My kid gets so annoyed when the teacher has to explain again or slow down the lesson so some kids can understand. I don't care what a kid's IQ is if they aren't at least 2 years above grade level in reading and math. If a kid isn't they can easily fit into a regular class. [/quote]

Many academically gifted children learn in a different way than neuro typical children, so grade level doesn't give a full picture of what a child's needs are.

The gifted kid will usually grasp and understand new concepts quickly and easily. It is more likely the child who might be on the border for the program who might need repetition of explanations and a slower pace in general. That child would probably find the regular classroom a better fit for his/her learning style.
