[quote=Anonymous] OP here. After starting this thread I reported myself and asked Jeff to delete my post because I thought maybe I shouldn't open this can of worms. It's amazing how many responses and views this has gotten. I'm thinking AAP must vary and in some areas perhaps an advanced child won't get what they need in the regular classroom. From what I've heard where I live (good schools in FCPS) the kids get plenty in the regular classroom, though if you talk to parents where I live set on AAP, they would disagree. My situation with my older child is different from most of yours in that he is learning disabled in the language domain, but gifted in the quantitative domain. The discrepancy between the two areas is vast. Maybe if he were gifted accross the board i would see things differently. I'm actually just grateful he has an area of academics he loves where he excels and it's all self-motivated.[/quote]
