[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's because there's a difference between an excellent student vs. a gifted learner. A lot of the local guests are conscientious, dedicated students who work hard to be good students. The Level IV is supposed to be for kids who think or learn  in a different way. (though this sometimes isn't the case these days.) Getting good grades in a class of both eligible students and guests does not negate a reason a child wasn't found eligible  in the first place.

I know that's rough. It is not fair that some local level 4 schools try to have their teachers get all their guests in officially. It sets up unreasonable expectations and is misleading. It's too bad that the county doesn't seem to standardized what the local level 4s do.

Also, last year I had to decide between local or center for my son so I did a lot of research.  The curriculums are NOT the same, even if they say they are. They may both  be good but they're not the same.

Well it suks that the child was put in there, did everything they were supposed to, and now might have to go back to "standard" learning even though they excelled???  A form of torture, perhaps?   And perhaps being judged on the whim of one teacher?[/quote]
