[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree "above grade level in reading and math" means "above average, not "gifted."  It seems there are some parents who gang up on anyone who disagree with their Lake Wobegon mentality.   They seem to be anonymously posting on various email lists trying to get a crowd to join them in confronting Starr.  They seem to have a thing against the Super because he just recognizes gifted the way most people think of it.

I found wading through the emails really useful.  It kinds gave me an idea about the MoCo mindset.

The GTA or whatever people seem to be really nasty.  Are the kids that way too?

Any opinion will be welcome.  We are thinking of moving. [/quote]

Here is my outsider openion. I am not a GTA member, but I will tell you something. When the budget is tight and there are competing thoughts, the group who shows numbers is who is listend to. The GTA group might not be perfect but it is the only group that is working to keep acceleration in home schools alive. Do not listen to anyone and judge for yourself by reading and learning. If GTA folks are anonymously posting, you are doing the same. Whatever you think of them, go to the meeting and you can voice your opinion too. [/quote]
