[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Apparently I did not make my question clear.  I don't understand why anything I said would imply anything about a gifted resources counselor or issues with a home school.  I'm asking about Montessori vs expeditionary learning vs STEM vs language immersion vs traditional learning, i.e. all of the many programs offered at APS.  I am assuming that a gifted child is going to do better in some environments than others.  I'm asking parents who chose X program for their child to tell me how that program did or did not serve their child.

So let's try this again.[/quote]

I am assuming you are an earnest first-time parent who does not particularly want to be in Arlington, so I am going to ignore your tone. But you really, REALLY need to get some help with that before you start interacting with teachers and administrators, because they have a lot of people to attend to, and patronizing parents are not going to shoot to the top of the list.

That said, gifted children come in a range of personalities. Some like more structure, some like less. Some want to plunge in and be very hands on, some have a million questions they want answered before they act.

Find the school that suits your child's personality, or one that splits the difference if you will be sending more than one and don't want to deal with multiple schools.[/quote]
