[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP but isn't it against the law for public school system to not serve the needs of each student?  If severaly disabled students are being sent to private schools (DCPS used to do this more often than people realize), then shouldnt DCPS be legally required to send the most gifted students to adademically rigorous private schools as well?

The law says you have to be able to access the curriculum and pass. If you need more time, a different strategy or a different environment to succeed (pass), you can use your IEP that way.  If you are gifted and need a greater challenge, you are already passing.

Your child required enrichment.

The state of FL does have gifted IEPs, but they are not the same as an IEP for a disability like blindness.

Check out the center at William and Mary.  Lots of gifted kids are also in need of special socio-emotional care (they feel chronically alone because some have a hard time making friends that get them).  W&M is doing great research in this field.  I considered a move to Williamsburg![/quote]
