[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC went to CCES for CES right after covid and he didn’t think the kids there were super smart or gifted. He would actually say that the ‘kids are pretty dumb for being gifted’ I actually attended their TED talk presentation and there were some kids who couldn’t even read fluently. So that should give you some idea of how these programs are not for the ‘gifted’ or super smart kids anymore. Whether its CES or criteria based Middle school programs.[/quote]

You have no idea why someone isn’t reading fluently.  My kid was in a CES - IQ135 + ADHD + language processing disorder. Similarly, a kid with dyslexia or who is not a native English speaker may not read fluently.  Reading fluency is not necessarily related to intelligence.

Schools cannot discriminate on the basis of disability or language speaker status.[/quote]

CES is a [b]literacy[/b] program, not an IQ program.

Parents who ignore that tend to have kids frustrated and unsatisfied in CES, and kids in that profile who who don't go are relieved when they see what their peers are doing in CES.

That said, as with other academic activities, the demands of CES are different in W cluster vs other clusters. [/quote]
