[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry, OP that no one on this thread has a truly highly gifted child and they are not giving good advice. It is not fair for a student who is so far ahead of his peers in school to have to endure the boredom that comes with being in a classroom all day that doesn't meet his needs. All the enrichment in the world is not going to solve that problem for your child during those long school days. Unfortunately, MCPS does not offer much for highly gifted students. A pull out here and there, possibly advanced groupings for reading and math...  I ended up homeschooling my gifted son for 5 years until he could enter a middle school magnet program. There is a fairly large gifted homeschool community in the DC area (since the schools don't measure up). Also you may want to check out Feynman school, a gifted private school in Bethesda with a high price tag. Good luck![/quote]

Guess it was a miracle but my highly gifted child did somehow manage to survive being bored in school until magnet opportunities were available.  [/quote]
