[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you believe your kid is is truly gifted, which is rare, and can’t function in mainstream general education, you are on your own and you have to sacrifice (I did). The public school is not really designed for the 2%. It is called “public”, regardless how wealthy is your area. Do outside enrichment (CTY) or private gifted school or move (TJ, Davidson, Stuy, Boston Latin and etc).. its plenty out there you just have to do the work to figure it out and you HAVE to sacrifice. So complaining here won’t do anything.[/quote] Public schools are expected to meet the 30% of students' advanced academic needs. As a comparison, FCPS AAP has 30% who qualify bases on screening and 16% eventually are enrolled. LCPS does not have anything similar to AAP for its advanced and/or GT learners. Majority of these advanced students are not wealthy to afford private or can relocate without a job to feed the family. [/quote]
