[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Assuming it is run like Mckinley, and why wouldn’t it be, they do a good job at clustering the gifted students together. There will be tons of kids who are labeled gifted. Unfortunately, about nine years ago APS decided to move from a pull out to a push in program. They claim it’s better, but most parents would disagree. I think part of the reason may be that they only staff one gifted teacher per school regardless of population size. My kid used to get pulled up for specialized instruction, but the resource teacher coming in usually means a lesson for everyone and there’s very little differentiation. [/quote] If you look at the budget, over 30% of the kids are "gifted" at Cardinal. That's statistically impossible. My kid went there and was in a gifted cluster. Not sure there was any differentiation. And the principal is a horrible person.[/quote]
