[quote=Anonymous]The irony of this whole fight over gifted kids actually getting services is that every North Arlington parent thinks their kid is gifted and even if they recognize that their kid isn’t they definitely don’t want them in any non gifted cohort. So gifted doesn’t actually mean anything within the parlance of APS, particularly at schools like Taylor and Jamestown, Nottingham, etc. If it’s any consolidation, if you can afford to live in these districts, then it’s true that most of the kids are really bright in one way or another with very engaged educated parents and so your child’s peer group by definition is smart and that’s actually way more important to their educational path than 1 hour or whatever of special gifted services. Spending all your time with other bright motivated kids — even if the classroom lessons are boring sometimes — served my children now at elite schools just fine. [/quote]
