[quote=Anonymous]My kid is currently deemed gifted in math, science, and reading. I think his reading is handled well enough (he gets a pull out and is in a book club with other kids at his level. They read higher level books and have higher level discussions and work). I think this is a pull out method, so I don't think APS switched to push in everywhere.

Math, I don't really think they do anything. But it is in Spanish so I guess that challenges him a bit more. He never mentions being bored, but he did say his report card lied when it said his teacher would continue to challenge him lol. That being said, I really think it is fine. I was in gifted program in ES when I was a kid and don't really remember it being anything groundbreaking until I got to MS or HS. DS1 will have more opportunities once he moves up to higher levels. As for now he enjoys being there and hanging out with friends.  During the pandemic we did hire a tutor for more enrichment activities.

Science is laughable IMO. But hopefully that improves too and it should be high school. I don't know I am not really concerned we do stuff at home that keeps him engaged and school (for now) can just be for fun and friendship. He has many years to be challenged.
