[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So you are accelerating your child outside of school and want MCPS to create a bespoke curriculum to match?[/quote]

No, I want the school to meet their needs as a gifted student. Which is legally required. [/quote]

You’re so cute. They are required to provide grade appropriate math curriculum, which will eventually be more differentiated, but not personalized to each child individually. My kid was evaluated and reading at a 9th grade level in 1st grade. Can you imagine if I asked for him to be bussed to the high school? If you would like a bespoke curriculum you are free to homeschool. Stop accelerating outside of school if the result is that your child is now bored in school. You are creating/exacerbating the problem. Many, many kids are “advanced” in the younger grades. They can’t put them all in upper grade classrooms. Work on figuring out how to help your child manage his or her boredom/impatience. That’s a key lesson to master in school and in life. [/quote]
