[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Public schools are not required by law to provide gifted education. Some of them offer it to compete with privates but there are no guarantees and the courses taught are still using the same state standards.[/quote]Public schools in Virginia are required to have advanced curriculum[/quote] No. Public schools in Virginia are required to have a gifted program. The most well-known gifted program in the DMV is AAP in FCPS. DC is in 5th grade and we are happy with the program. It's a good mix of interesting extensions, engaging curriculum, and a good cohort with experienced teachers.[/quote] It is designed to accommodate the top 25-30%. They took the word gifted out of the name for a reason.[/quote] Because you're no longer allowed to call the remaining 70-75% of kids average or slow especially when that accounts for 98% of the area's minorities [/quote]
