[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They need to stop gifted centers altogether and keep all kids in their home school. They should be able to do advanced classes at their home schools. 
That’s not what OP is asking though. [/quote]

When I was a kid, our GT program involved busing kids to a central elementary school (as they changed the program, the ES changed, but there was busing each year except for the year it was at our school).  Why should each school create a program for 5-20 students per grade when a center school can properly provide a cohort of 2-3 classes per grade?  [/quote]
The program doesn’t need creating. The info is already there, it just needs to be taught. With so many people looking at GS scores as a basis for whether a school is good or not, having the bright kids stay where they are would do wonders. [/quote]

Disagree.  The purpose of AAP is to provide a cohort, not just to teach Caesar's English or Jacob's Ladder.  The same purpose as the GT program when I was child.  [/quote]
