[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have two children in schools that have recently experienced threats/violence. I have a child with an IEP. Both of my children are gifted.

Are there things I'd nitpick? sure. Has our experience overall been very good? yes. Great teachers, supportive admin, special education support. I'd appreciate more acceleration but we have gotten some and I recognize the limits of what can be done within schools. Overall, we're very happy.[/quote]

You must have older kids. My older child is about to leave elementary school and I would say that your experience is pretty similar to hers. However, none of the enrichment she benefited from will be accessible for my younger child. None of it. Instead we have terrible “in class enrichment” for ELA and compacted math is going to be a thing of the past, replaced by a new model that no one understands based on a completely dishonest interpretation of a statement guidance. Meanwhile behavioral problems are worse every year. I do not know a single parent who is happy with our school right now. Many families are looking into private school even though it will drastically strain their budgets. My husband and I went to public school and are huge believers in public education but we are considering private for our younger child who struggles to learn in the chaos that is every class.
