[quote=Anonymous]Probably depends on school. Both my kids at a title 1 elem. in S. Arlington were id'd as gifted - I actually don't think they are gifted at all and their test scores were average, but it seemed like they needed at least a few "gifted" kids in each grade to create a cohort, and my kids spoke fluent English and could read on grade level. The bar was low. I gave very short, minimal answers to the parent survey. Once they were designated "gifted," we noticed absolutely no change in their schoolwork. They sent us a report of gifted services delivered maybe every semester or year, and it basically said nothing. The teachers told me the gifted teacher worked mainly with teachers to differentiate for all students regardless of designation. So, gifted in our APS experience was nothing special at all and not worth worrying about in the slightest. Oh, and then you get to middle school, where the only differentiation is math.[/quote]
