[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FCPS also made a huge push to capture gifted kids at title 1 and lower SES schools. If the pp kid showed even a little bit of promise, the teacher should have captured this ability.

I had a kid who couldn’t even read in second grade and the teacher could see he was good at math and gave him harder worksheets. [/quote]

Your child had a good teacher. My kids have had teachers like this along the way, but certainly not every teacher they had.[/quote]

Pp here. I’m not a teacher but I do have 3 kids and have been around a lot of kids. You can see pretty quickly who the very bright kids are. My kid who couldn’t read was quiet. The teachers give kids assessments. I’m sure the teacher could see my kid did the math quickly and easily. I don’t think it takes a good teacher to see this. That specific teacher was a bit of a hot mess. She used to come to school late frequently and seemed easily distracted. Many parents were upset with her. I actually think she was the worst teacher my kid may have had and she still have my kid advanced math worksheets. We are talking multiplication worksheets instead of addition. Nothing crazy here.[/quote]

I have 3 kids and we've had plenty of teachers who do zero differentiation even when my incredibly bright kid was wandering around making up her own math worksheets for fun.[/quote]
