[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Your kids aren't that gifted and talented, OP. I mean, I know you think they are -- and you will be surrounded by people who think the same -- but they're just not. If you have some sort of phenom on your hands, you wouldn't be looking at public, anyway." +1000. Unless you're kids are at the 99.5%+ percentile for intelligence - like reading at a H.S. or college level - I don't see any need for G&T in the younger grades. [/quote] Yes. If your child would benefit from being placed in a higher reading group or math group that is one thing. But if you think your 5 yo is being identified as GT and needs a program for it, then you should go private. At this age all enrichment could be done at home.[/quote] It seems to be a myth that private elementary is good for the truly gifted (at least in the popular DC privates) -- see private forum before you consider that move.[/quote]
