[quote=Anonymous]We are a family of high IQs. The teachers in MCPS made a big effort to help my DCs have a great experience. They just pulled out materials from 3rd and 4th grade in 1st and 2nd. They tested 99% (the highest you could go) across the board in standardized tests. Admin would say: are these real? when they saw the test scores. There were a couple of other kids like them -- in a neighborhood where every house costs over $1M, what would you expect? When the oldest reached 4th we moved them to private. so did the other parents like ours. Some kids are very smart academically. making them continue to repeat 1st and 2nd grade materials is asking a lot of a 7-8 year old. So if your child is gifted, acts gifted, tests gifted, yes it is a form of special issue and needs to be addressed. The best thing we ever did for our kids was private.[/quote]
