[quote=Anonymous]I didn’t say it wasn’t valuable for certain reasons. But seems like hyperbole to suggest exponential academic value when we are talking about elementary curriculum. It’s NOT a gifted program anymore. It’s a contrived track inadvertently created by people parent referring, prepping, and paying for outside testing to ensure they get the track. Of course some kids thrive surrounded by generally more motivated kids, but everyone ends up back in the same place with the same academic opportunities by MS and HS. IME, the outcomes aren’t exponentially better for the kids that did some extra social studies in 4th grade.[/quote]
