[quote=Anonymous]It's public education. Both Fairfax and Loudon have similar philosophies. More resources are directed at making underperforming children get to grade level than most other state (G&T) or federally (disability) mandated activities. The boards are filled with both of those groups complaining about lack of specialized education that should be guaranteed by law. Your school's socio-economic makeup and particularly income levels will impact your child's education more than the G&T program, as it will determine the peers around them. If you're unhappy with the education, you can do outside enrichment activities to supplement where you think they're weak, move to a higher SES school via a very expensive home purchase for a higher peer group, or you can pay for private education. A truly gifted child has no options in northern virginia public school systems, but then again... most "truly" gifted children are going to figure it out on their own anyway. [/quote]
