[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyway, there's planning ahead, and there's assuming that you know better than your child's teacher about how to challenge kids in K and what they are actually learning. [/quote] It's not as though you can choose your Kindergarten teacher if you're in a public school. Needless to say, teachers have different approaches. There's a fair percentage of teachers opposed to gifted education. For instance, our Kindergarten teacher - who was otherwise very good, we believe - told us that in order to be identified as GT in Kindergarten you had to read and write at a 5th grade level coming in, and that that happens to only one child in the entire school every 4 to 5 years, which turned out to be complete BS. She also wouldn't tell us which reading group our child was in. [/quote]
