[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Public. Honestly. The strongest kids are in public. The bright kids who didn't get into the public programs? Those are the kids in the "private gifted schools." [/quote]

Really?  My preschooler can read, write, spell, add, subtract, multiply, divide and she is not yet in K.  She can read clocks, knows days, weeks, months and years.  She loves maps and even knows the 50 US states with capitols, the different continents and oceans.  Public can meet her needs?[/quote]

OP -  Don't do this to yourself.  Your child is smart but what you describe does not indicate that she/he needs to be treated differently or sent to a "private school for a gifted elementary school child."  Any good public or good private in your area will work for Kindergarten -- and you can re-assess his/her situation each year if particular issues arise that suggest a change would be beneficial.

Find a school that matches the environment you want for your child. She will have peers at most schools around here; what you describe is not uncommon.[/quote]
