[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Flora Singer has enriched kids going to a different classroom everyday like compacted math. Unfortunately my kid’s school, Viers Mill, is keeping everyone in their homerooms for ELA, then, 4 times a week for a half hour enrichched kids are pulled out for “novel studies” while the rest of the kids are literally learning English. Have separate classes for compacted math, so I don’t understand the difference for ELA. I’m really disappointed [b]because the non-enriched kids have behavior issues[/b] that affect the whole class[/quote]

I see this misconception all over the Internet. Being gifted doesn't mean kids don't misbehave. [/quote]

First of all, I never labelled anyone as gifted. Second, I’m sharing my child’s experience. The behavior and language of the students not in compacted math or enriched ELA is terrible in the classroom and the playground. Letters home all the time about racial slurs or threats of weapons, kids cursing at other kids at BTSN right in front of their parents without repercussions. I could go on and on. It feels worse this year because the CES students have been pulled out to a different school, so the misbehaving kids are now the majority.[/quote]

What makes you so sure that there isn't behavioral issues in compacted math or ELC? [/quote]

Before my kid was in compacted math she was called a dumb b74$h everyday by the same student. This year in compacted math, no problems at all. The mean kids are not in compacted math at our school but they are in every homeroom talking nasty to adults and students during class and recess.[/quote]

Wow, what school is this? I work at a Title I ES with few gifted/advanced kids coming out of it (so mostly on or below grade level) and this type of behavior is not normal at my school.[/quote]

Our school recently lost Title I funding but I imagine will go back after this year. [/quote]
