[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this a thing that you guys talk about with other parents?  We're an APS family and really have no idea who is who among the "gifted"

You figure it out as they group classes with the gifted kids together. There’s not enough staff resources to go into each individual class for enrichment. [/quote]

They don't put all the gifted kids in one class. They make sure there's a critical mass of them (so there won't be just one or two in a classroom). But in a school like ours with 4-5 classes per grade in a N. Arlington elementary, you're going to have several classes with gifted kids in them, because there are so many kids who score well on tests.

I have a child identified as gifted in 4 subjects and have told exactly *one* other parent who is a very close friend and has an older child who was identified as gifted, so we've had a lot of discussions about it. I don't talk about it with other parents and have never heard another parent bring it up with me, except for a coworker who has a child at a different school who trots out the fact all the time, and who is generally regarded as obnoxious by everyone.
