[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the timing is based on the school.  We didn't receive a screening letter until later in February as I recall from the G&T person at the school.

Since then, I don't see much differentiation. [b]If the label makes you happy, then that's great, because that's all it is.[/b]  [/quote]

Ok, then pull your kid from the program.

Weird. It's not actively harmful, it's also not actively enriching.  Why should that require action on the PP's part? [/quote]

It's the smug, backhanded last sentence, "if the label makes you happy..." to the parents of prospective gifted students.  :roll:

Two of my four kids are gifted according to aps.  The first one didn’t services— identification happened during covid and we all had more important things to focus on.  She is doing fine, she is in highschool now and is flourishing.  My second gifted kid has been marked as gifted but does not receive much if any differentiation.  She’s in fourth grade and the gifted teacher comes to her classroom once every two weeks.

My two other kids are not gifted according to aps— the first because he never got to take the cogat or nnat because of covid, the second who is genuinely average/not gifted.

After elementary school, my non-gifted kids experiences and opportunities were identical to those of my gifted kids.  It really is just a label and a pretty meaningless one at that.  No smugness or snark on my end intended![/quote]
