[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I was a kid in a gifted program, we got pulled out for a full day each week to a totally separate class throughout ES and MS.  It was really good academically but a bit difficult socially. I supposed there was a backlash against that model which got us where we are now.  [/quote]

That was the model I grew up with, too.  We were bussed to a different location for the day with kids from other district schools, which did waste a lot of time.  By middle school, I remember teachers being annoyed that a certain percentage of kids missed 1 day a week, so tests and field trips and other in-class stuff needed to be scheduled around that.  I have fond memories of the program, but I wouldn’t want that for my kid.  [/quote]

When I was growing up, all the extra gifted services we got in elementary school was in after school programs.  Very little of it was academic focused as far as I remember, the closest was the Voyage of the Mimi videos we had to watch, haha.  [/quote]

Voyage of the Mimi...thank you, I needed that today.  Good times.[/quote]
