[quote=Anonymous]My kids are much younger and not in private, so I am speaking to my own experience. I feel like they should bring back gifted tracks in public school (we don't have them in DCPS). I was pulled out beginning in 4th grade for after school gifted program, and then in 7th and 8th for special gifted classes in English and Social Studies (our school only offered gifted in these subjects). Later I went on to a very highly regarded boarding school, where all the kids were gifted, even if they had special needs -- meaning they were advanced for their age. I want this for my children, too. THey are currently in a bilingual program that is challenging to them, so I don't see this becoming an issue until middle school. I am building the case with my spouse to send them to a local private school and then boarding school, if their grades and interest justify it. Simply put, you learn more when you are in a class with kids who are smarter than you. [/quote]
