[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] It's not. The law says that MCPS must identify gifted learners no later than 3rd grade. They do that with screening in 2nd. The law also says MCPS must provide differentiated instruction, but it does not say that MCPS must meet every single child exactly where they are, particularly if a child has been coached outside of school. This makes sense. The schools don't need to be in an arms race with RSM. Moreover, academic differentiation is only one element of the law, there's also attending to the SEL needs of gifted kids, which honestly includes managing frustration and boredom. [/quote]
