[quote=Anonymous]or those of you frustrated with your kids being bored at school, please do look into the MCCPTA’s GEC which advocates for the needs of academically gifted children in our county schools.  It is made up of parents (or other PTA members) from various MoCo schools/PTAs —these serve as liaisons, and a central organizing group. 
I’m planning to volunteer as my PTA’s rep this year. Apparently the time commitment is not much. 
This means you would need to join the PTA at your kid’s school if you haven’t already, but membership is usually $10-20 and you don’t need to commit to anything else besides this.

And just to head off any snarky comments, gifted students do have needs that need to be better met in our a schools. For example, MCPS may invest $ in enrichment programs that aren’t embraced by the kids/families, or there may be gifted children whose parents aren’t involved enough to help them be less bored, and all these children should be well-served. We can close the achievement gap without keeping options for gifted children limited, which IMO they currently are.[/quote]
