[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The key to having a "gifted" or advanced child thrive is putting them in a school with a small teacher - student ratio, which allows the teachers to spend quality time with each child and understand and work with the child's strengths and weaknesses. Find a school with a broad and rich curriculum that exposes the child to new things and instills a love of learning. You actually don't want a school for gifted kids. You want a school environment that allows your child to be challenged but still learn social and emotional skills with their peers. [/quote] And actually the class ration doesn't have to be that small if the teachers are good at the job of teaching. The other thing that helps gifted kids thrive is if parents back off on the school front and enrich in fun ways at home.[/quote]
