[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The thing is it's so often a teacher by teacher decision whether to give extra or advanced work and not something that all teachers must do, so you have a lot of parents with teachers not willing to make the extra effort complaining here. I guess I'm not gifted enough to understand 12:03's comment. I do not feel I'm pimping out my kid because I want him to learn something new in one of the 3R subjects during an entire year. And no, he doesn't have social issues either. Granted he's not 2 levels above the standard in sports either, but I consider those parents to be pushing the same or more than the GT crowd.[/quote] I chose the wrong words. I didn't mean 'pimping' kids out. I meant the ones that are endlessly telling everyone how gifted their kids are--akin to bragging. Pushing the kid that clearly isn't gifted to get into programs by any means possible. I wouldn't classify what you are doing as that. [/quote]
