[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC tried one year of center during the Elem years and then went back to LLIV.  DC said the only difference was that at the center they wasted classroom time dealing with boys that cried.  DC also implied that some of the kids in the center classroom were actually less motivated - ie complacent.  Really not sure the pace was any different.  DC's grades were the same in both environments.  [/quote]

You truly think an 8/9 year old can accurately summarize the difference?  Considering what you wrote, she couldn't, let alone that she couldn't possibly know what is the "only" difference.  Was she in a base classroom everyday or was she at the teacher mtgs?  Wouldn't they crying boy be class specific, not a base/aap difference?   :roll: [/quote]

I am one of the other posters.

Often times, highly gifted boys especially, fall into the twice exceptional range (gifted plus a special ed diagnosis like aspergers or ADHD).

They test very high academically, but have very uneven development in other areas. Likely, that person's daughter's class had several of these kinds of students. If your kid is a bright good student, it would probably be annoying or difficult to be around a high concentration of these kinds of kids.  My child didn't mind because those boys were able to move very quickly academically, so the behavior was easier to overlook.  That got better by fourth and fifth for sure as thse kids evened out.[/quote]
