[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are about 4 million kids in your child’s grade. Even if he is in the top 99.9 in math there are thousands in his grade like him. it’s not like it’s special. It’s good to be but not worthy of needing special radical acceleration. He should be just fine in the regular public school sequence with normal acceleration. but here is where having a fun enrichment class comes into play. [/quote] Only in NoVa are people like, "99.9th percentile. Meh." :lol: [/quote] Well, it’s better than thinking “99.9th percentile. That’s 2 standard deviations above everybody. The 90th percentile math track will waste my child’s life!” Cmon. A 1 in a thousand kid is great. Tell the grandparents. But it’s not going to get your kid special considerations. We live in a country where most districts don’t even have a gifted program for the 99th percentile kids. Thousands of kids are 99.9 kids in regular classrooms. [/quote]
