[quote=Anonymous]There's zero gifted education at my kids' JKLM.   I think the general level of education is pretty decent and most of the kids are very bright and have parents who are overachievers.

I wouldn't call my kids gifted but they're bright enough.  My neighbor has a son who i think is probably genuinely gifted in the 1:1000 sense.  The school has done nothing to formally  accelerate his learning 
although he probably could handle work many years up.  It's obvious to all who know this kid that he's exceptionally bright.  His parents used to ask the school (and teachers) for extra or differentiated 
work but after a few years of not getting much or anything they now just encourage the kids' interests outside of school.  He's now a rising 5th grades.   Obviously, they're on the 
more laid-back end of the parenting spectrum.   Which is sort of what you have to be in DCPS... roll with the punches and trust that it will all work out in the end for kids who are
motivated. [/quote]
