[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As Fairfax knows when you increase the number of seats in the program, it is no longer a gifted program.  If 1 of the 3 4th and 5th grade classes at Stonegate is supposed to be a highly gifted center, we can assume that it is really just slightly different than a typical classroom.  After a few years they will say that all the classrooms should have the same opportunity.  Didn't that basically happen at Tacoma elementary?  It was a testin gifted magnet but now it is basically for the whole school and a few OOB kids.[/quote]

Are they talking about increasing the seats? No I don't think so. They are talking about doing their own homework in terms of finding the students they think are worthy. That's quite different.[/quote]

The number of seats is going up 50% next year..many of which are just for the students in two particular schools.[/quote]
It's a pilot program of some sorts.  I think it's in the clusters where the seats for HGC are already somewhat small.[/quote]
