[quote=Anonymous]I think that it depends on the services that the G&T tag can unlock. We live in a district that does push-in enrichment, but a lot of it is participate in an academic contest that they weren't interested in or do more homework in subjects they didn't want to do. There isn't a separate AAP style classroom, but so many of their classmates are high achievers that they always had a peer group. Instead, we did a lot of outside enrichment, heavy on extracurriculars, and lots and lots of unstructured free time with friends. They loved learning on their own terms and they enjoyed the time with their friends. Now they are in high school. They both select the most rigorous courses and are achieving results similar to their "gifted" peers. All of this to say it depends on the G&T program, it depends on the kid and the time and resources that you have to put into outside activities. There's one right or wrong answer, just what's a good fit for your family.[/quote]
