[quote=Anonymous]P.S. Re OP last post and the line about private versus public. Your assumption about private really depends on where you live. Our public system has a far better program for gifted kids post-third grade, and the offerings at the high school level through the AP system are astonishing. You can clear a lot of college-level classes out of the way through the AP system in the proper high school. A lot of privates don't offer that; their teachers aren't trained in differential learning; the oddball child may be ostracized instead of encouraged. If your child is truly gifted, you can't immediately assume private is better. Some may be. Others are "lock-step" and provide no take out gifted program. You will have to research that thoroughly. But first, get your child thoroughly tested so you really know what is happening in the brain.[/quote]
