[quote=Anonymous]We've lived elsewhere and the "gifted" kids get extra assignments based on their "giftedness". I remember a 4th grader writing her own book, a 1st grader exploring different computer programs to create presentations about something he was interested in. As for accelerated math, the 4th grade teachers pulled each kid at the beginning of the year and asked certain questions. If your kids answered in a certain way, and there is no way to prep, they were in the 4/5th compacted math class. As for accelerated math in the earlier years, teachers would select a few kids to go to "challenge math" if they scored well on pretests. When we moved here, my kid (who is in accelerated math), was astonished by the number of kids who couldn't do simple multiplication/division in their heads. People in FCPS may think their kids are gifted, but......take a look at other areas......you'd be surprised.[/quote]
