[quote=Anonymous]Profoundly gifted children (think math prodigies that can do long division or more in their head at age 4) will rarely be well served by a G&T program, their parents are going to need to advocate for their unique needs and few school systems accommodate them well.  More typically gifted children, think top 3 percent academically able nationally but more concentrated in pockets of well educated people, can be well served by good differentiation and SEM type models.  I, DH and most of my current friends were identified as "g&t" in our youth and had a variety of advanced classes and pull outs.  This is often genetic so it is not surprising that many kids in the DC metro area are advanced academically.  I support strong differentiation, tracking where appropriate and attempting to engage all kids in depth.  We have been well served so far in our JKLMM, and I expect Deal to be strong as well (although I may examine Hardy's SEM program she we get closer).  I think the models for differentiation need to be expanded to other schools.[/quote]
