[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Overall, the program seems to be a good but as a parent you have to be aware that if your child is in the TAG pullout program they can be pulled out of a core class such as science, math, or reading to attend the TAG program once a week.  Your child is still responsible for the covering the lesson taught and complete homework that was assigned that day.[/quote]

Just to clarify, the TAG pull outs are supposed to not have an impact upon in-class learning, and teachers are supposed to structure when they are introducing new concepts around when the pull outs (for TAG, ESOL, instrumental music, etc.) happen. If that's not happening with your child and the pull out, there should be conversations with the teacher, the TAG coordinator, and/or the principal; if need be the TAG Office can be called in once you've talked to the folk in the school.

As a parent of two TAG kids who opted to stick with the neighborhood school instead of going the TAG Center route, it was refreshing to hear comments from Dr. Eubanks and Dr. Davis about strengthening TAG services in neighborhood schools. Too often it seems the discussion focuses only on the TAG centers and getting kids out of neighborhood schools, but that's not going to be the best situation for every child and strengthening differentiated instruction and TAG programs in neighborhood schools can benefit both TAG students and kids who are missed in the TAG-identification process, as well as kids who may not be TAG identified.[/quote]
