[quote=Anonymous]I was in DCPS' G&T growing up in the 80s and 90s. Honestly, we didn't do anything to justify it. Of course that doesn't have to be the case now, but that may be why they got rid of it. Back then, they'd take us out of class once a week and we'd do brain teasers. For the most part, we just went on field trips: the movies, Kennedy Center, Mexican restaurant, museums, etc. I can't say we actually learned anything really. My only child just started PS3 this year. She's the only one in her class who can read. I've observed the class a few times, and she looks bored. I know that she's learning social skills more than anything else at this age, so I'm not sweating it. I do, however, wonder what my options would be down the road if this were consistent. When I was in G&T, I was still bored in my regular classroom. It wasn't until high school that I felt challenged. By then, I didn't have much interest in school anymore. [/quote]
