[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I was a kid in the 80s, every child that attended our public elementary had a very good chance of emerging a strong reader and speller with a command of math facts. If you were precocious you were tracked into a gifted program that achieved much more. Now it’s hard to guarantee *anything* even at privates. Parents have to be involved to ensure a decent outcome. [/quote] I agree. And there were no gifted programs in my state. The future Ivy League students were with everyone else until AP classes. [/quote] Same with me. Not gifted programs or testing. High school separated students according to ability and the ones with the ability, focus and drive made it to top schools. Same as it still is in a lot of areas. Not as much tutoring for a sport either. The talented ones showed potential early on. They spent their free time amongst themselves playing their sports with no adult interference. [/quote]
