[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I don't want my GT kid teaching anyone. I want this child to be challenged in school by teachers who are paid from my tax money. Every kid should be challenged to the best of their ability. [/quote] The irony in learning in only this environment -though it has many pluses- is that a child with classwork pitched in a very narrow range gains limited problem solving ability. Some combination of different ability/talent grouping and peer talent/ability grouping would offer a learner more.[/quote] I don't get this at all. A kid who is reading chapter books will not learn anything sitting in a class that is learning the alphabet. This does happen in MCPS.[/quote]
