[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Meanwhile, 2Ts don't have the same infrastructure to support a highly gifted child - they tend to focus on enrichment rather than acceleration, especially in the early years.[/quote] This is highly school-dependent - I went to a school that would barely qualify as a 3T by NYC standards and they had an excellent accelerated program. There are definitely schools that refuse to differentiate as a matter of educational philosophy, but there are other schools that will be more than happy to; they certainly all have enough resources for it. (in some cases it's as simple as 'how is your schedule constructed' - they might for example be delighted to skip your kid a grade in math if the blocks line up cleanly enough that your kid would be able to keep doing it throughout their school career)[/quote]
