[quote=Anonymous]From the link above:

[quote]There are no hard-and-fast rules...

But there are some generalizations. [b] Moderately gifted children tend to do well in the regular classroom, with the added challenge of differentiation[/b], a gifted pull-out enrichment program or mild acceleration in their areas of strength. [b] Highly gifted children tend to do well in congregated gifted classes[/b], such as offered in a few larger districts across the United States.  These classes are most successful when they use a more in-depth curriculum, which also moves at a faster pace.  Gifted children are different not only in their faster learning, but by their deeper interest and level of understanding.  Both these differences must be addresses in a successful educational situation.

Exceptionally and profoundly gifted children often need more, and may do well in schools by using a combination of congregated gifted classrooms, subject and grade acceleration.  Congregated classrooms of only eg/pg children would probably be more valuable to these children's education, but there are often not enough of these children in any one school district to make the practice viable.  Exceptionally and profoundly gifted children are commonly homeschooled for some part of their educational path.  This is not a requirements, but parents of these children often find themselves with no other option for a year, or a school level.  And this can be the best alternative for some children. [/quote]
