[quote=Anonymous]OP: I'm parenting a highly gifted kid in FCPS, and know parents of gifted kids in MCPS. Both systems have very strong FT gifted education by mid-ES. Different philosophies, different acceptance criteria. But, they both do gifted education very well. As PPs have noted, privates really can't differentiate in the way FCPS and MCPS do. FCPS at least is also very good with 2e. Most of the good ones won't pretend to. Other observations: k-2 was tough in FCPS until AAP kicked in. But the school did a good job working with us. We did a lot of supplementing for the first 3 years, but it was fine. Also agree with PPs that raising a bright kid in this area is $$. The money we save by using public? Private music lessons, a good child psych for ADHD, an organizational tutor for executive functioning issues, summer camps like CTY through JHU; weekend science enrichment. It disappears really fast. But I'm glad we have it to spend. [/quote]
