[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our child was referred based on test scores but we filled it out because said child is so underwhelmed and bored in school that we did not want to leave anything to chance. I don’t think anything will change even once identified - it will still be the same terrible curriculum - but it seems to matter more when they get to middle school math options, or so I’ve heard. If the test scores speak for themselves maybe the examples matter less.

Have others at APS in upper elementary found math and reading instruction to be augmented? Ours does not appear to be at all. [/quote]

OP here, this is partly what we are pushing for gifted.  Child is in K and is so bored all day.  Seems to spend a lot of time alone on the ipad (is there a way to check how much time they are logged on?), and actually asked if they could move to 1st grade.

They have fun at recess and have lots of friends in class, but basically taught themselves how to read last year, and mastered all math skills, and is just idling while teacher is focused on her large 27 student class.[/quote]

There’s no gifted differentiation in 1st. There’s barely any in 2nd. Either wait for the NNAT screener next year or apply to private.[/quote]
