[quote=Anonymous]Growing up, I was in the "gifted" class. Although I think they called it "accelerated" then. All I remember is that near the end of third grade my folks asked if I'd like to be in a class where work would be a little harder and we'd get to do more projects, advanced math, etc. Each ES had a class like this, and looking back I feel like it was a better way to do it. I was with the same kids for 4th and 5th grade. I'm guessing there were 5 classrooms for each grade, so essentially the "accelerated" class served 20% of the population. Were there a couple kids who were crazy bright that were still probably bored? Sure, but seems it would be easier to give them a bit if extra enrichment in that setting rather than pull out only the 3% and leave the rest in regular classrooms.[/quote]
