[quote=Anonymous]I know this is one of those topics that gets people riled up but it’s really one I can only ask anonymously. What does DCPS do specifically for gifted kids? Mine is 9 and bored all the time with the school work. (She’s been tested and is indeed gifted.) She’s at Lafayette and it seems they are doing nothing and literally don’t respond when I ask whether there is any way to supplement her class work (worksheets while the other kids do addition, a book club, class with other grades, etc.). We cannot be the only parents in this situation but by it’s weird to try to suss out who else has a gifted kid. We can’t afford private. What do you do here? Are there any solutions within the school I’m not seeing? Just make the kid suck it up and try to find a tutor or other outside-of-school supplementation? I don’t want her to hate school, and I would prefer not to overschedule her, but she’s so sick of going over stuff she already knows. [/quote]
