[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find it interesting that so many parents think it is the school’s job to meet every need of their child. If my kid was doing well in school but had a specific interest, I would be the one exploring and growing that, be it in math or gardening or recycling or chemistry. [b]I don’t expect the school to solve everything for my kid, gifted or struggling.[/b] If my kid is having difficulty in a math concept, I’ll get a tutor or buy a workbook and practice with them at home because I understand that I am a partner in my child’s education and a school with 25 kids is not a setting where every need of every child can be met.

Stop complaining and start doing. If you’re on this forum it’s likely you can afford it.[/quote]

Well, the state of Virginia certainly expects the school to help! Virginia schools are required to have a gifted program (and all schools in the US are required to offer special education services, obviously).

If APS just said "no, we do not have a gifted program," obviously I wouldn't be complaining about the gifted program. But they do have one, and it could be better. [/quote]
