[quote=Anonymous]http://www.arlingtonmagazine.com/September-October-2016/Is-My-Child-Gifted/ This article was great. Yep. Many Arlington elementary schools (some are the worst offenders) mark the biggest loudmouth's kids in Kindergarten and they fill up the pull-out space for the next 6 years at the school so truly deserving kids can't get in. Asking for parental recommendations/requests into the Gifted Program in Kindergarten is the utmost ridiculous way to run a gifted program. Yes-- my 5 year old starting shitting on the toilet at 8 months old--he's a virtual Einstein. :roll: Unfortunately, these baby Einsteins are put in the program in K and remain there for the next 6 years, even when they turn out to be truly average or even below. Meanwhile, kids that have objective information and teacher recommendations to warrant their entry are denied entry due to space capacity. Appalling. Truly appalling.[/quote]
