I see the PP's point.  You first try to argue about the definition of gifted then you turn around and want to talk about " differentiation for kids who need extra challenge in home schools."  What PP is saying is that the forum is for GT.  It might be good to keep on topic.  My kids need challenge in the regular classroom--with the Ver. 2.0 (Is that what you call the student letter?) and I'd like to have a forum dedicated to that topic alone.  There is a lot to discuss.  And please don't bring your name calling and personal attacks here--it just makes you seem like you don't have anything useful left to say.

Why did you go around trying to argue GT defined kids who came prepared well if you just wanted to advocate for extra challenges for some of 'em?  [/quote]

I am not the PP who you are responding to. However, i see that people are thoroughly confused about this GT forum MCPS (Superintendent) is conducting. So, I called their office. They confirmed that this meeting is about all kids identified by MCPS at 2nd grade as "GT". They also categorically stated it is not about the magnet programs or HGCs. It is about the students that need additional challenge beyond the on-grade level curriculum. If you want  to clarify please call 301-279-3145 and learn for yourself. So, acceleration in local schools, homogeneous and ability grouping, not enough magnet programs, differentiations and any topic related to high ability students is fair game.
