[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really don't feel like gifted and talented stuff does anything other than maybe help make a difference in college admissions, but your kid will be a super smart kid from DC public schools and that alone will give him an advantage in getting into good colleges. Whereas if he was one of 100 smart kids in an advanced program, well, he's just like everyone else.[/quote] I'm not even sure colleges care about elementary or middle school. Given your kid's age they will not be eligible for a gifted and talented program for 3 years (assuming of course they qualify) in the mean time keep advocating and supporting your kid. I also will point out that just because a school doesn't have a gifted program doesn't mean kids don't get differentiation. [/quote]
