[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP can you confirm that you're looking for private only? I think a lot of gifted children end up at public magnets. [/quote] We’ve been in the private school system, but would consider public magnets if they fit DS. We chose private because we thought there would be a more nurturing environment for him, and that teachers would better understand and work with his sensitivity. That hasn’t been the case, and I worry instead they are labeling him because he is different. I’ve hear public magnets tend now to be overcrowded, both in MoCo and Fairfax, and that they also tend not to differentiate much. They teach material that’s more advanced than the standard grade level, but that within the AAP programs, the kids are pretty much held at the same level. Is that true? [/quote]
