[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]

The CES is a literary program. The kid was from a moderate FARMS school and had a lower MAP R score. It wasn’t just that he couldn’t read fluently. He was not doing well when it came to reading and writing. Since the lottery, the quality of students has gone down. The program is not run as it was before the lottery. Same is true for TpMS.[/quote]
