[quote=Anonymous]Assuming the kid is not  ADHA, and attending private is not an option. I have a strategy working very well for my family so far.

DD is currently in the MCPS highly gifted program. Before entering the program, she was in the regular class, bored, but able to follow the flow and complete class work and home work at school before coming home. She attends private English and Math classes on Saturdays. Those private classes keep her challenged and interested in the subjects. Good amount of home work too. She is currently in 5th grade, aces 7th+8th grade math at GT program, taking 9th grade Algebra on the side. By the result of her mid term report card from the private class, she will be able to take 10th grade Geometry in Spring.

Using this strategy, the student has a perfect academic record, AND well prepared to take entrance exams for GT/Magnet/IB.

I understand it puts pressure financially to send kids to private classes. Since your child is still young. You may give her Saturday homeschooling. Gifted children need to be taught to follow the flow, blend in, and at the same time, excel in their own ways. [/quote]
